Máximo Marcelo Torcuato de Alvear Pacheco (October 4, 1868 – March 23, 1942), better known as Marcelo T. de Alvear was an Argentinian politician and President of Argentina from October 12, 1922 to October 12, 1928. He was the leader of the anti-personalistic faction of the UCR (Unión Cívica Radical), opposed to Hipólito Yrigoyen. In contrast to Yrigoyen's popular style, Alvear belonged to the self-appointed "aristocracy" of Buenos Aires and never tried to hide it. He married opera singer Regina Pacini.
During his term, the economy of Argentina reached a peak performance, which would come to an abrupt halt due to the Great Depression shortly after his mandate ended.
After the coup against Yrigoyen in September 6, 1930, Alvear gained control of the party and led the unsuccessful opposition to the conservative governments that followed, including the failed revolution of 1932. As a result, he was arrested and deported to Europe. In 1937 he ran for president once again, but was victim of the so called "Patriotic Fraud".
