Can You Withdraw money in Argentina from a US Citibank account?

you can, I have done it before with no problems.

The only thing now is that most of the cash machines in Argentina put a limit on the amount of argentinian pesos that you can withdraw per transaction.

That means that before you could do one transaction to withdraw whatever money your US bank would allow you to withdraw per day, now you have to split that transaction in the amount you want to take divided by the amount (AR$300) the cash machines allow you to withdraw per transaction.

Hope I helped!

How did Argentina join United nations in World War 2 if the Axis helped Argentina?

From http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ho/pubs/fs/55407.htm

The San Francisco Conference, formally known as the United Nations Conference on International Organization, opened on April 25, 1945, with delegations from fifty countries present. The U.S. delegation to San Francisco included Secretary of State Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., former Secretary of State Cordell Hull, and Senators Tom Connally (D-Texas) and Arthur Vandenberg (R-Michigan), as well as other Congressional and public representatives. Among the most controversial issues at the San Francisco Conference was the seating of certain countries, in particular, Argentina, the Ukrainian and Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republics, and Poland. The vote to seat Argentina was particularly contentious because the Soviet Union strongly opposed Argentine membership arguing that Argentina had supported the Axis during the war. However, the other Latin American states refused to support the Ukrainian and Byelorussian candidacies if Argentina were blocked. The United States supported Argentina's membership, but also defended the Ukrainian and Byelorussian seats in order to maintain the Soviet Union's participation in the United Nations. The makeup of the Polish government was a continuing source of tension between the wartime allies, and thus a Polish delegation was not seated until after the conference.
