Dictadura Militar (1976-1983)

The Dictadura Militar in Argentina (1976-1983) was a period when the military took control of the government, overthrowing the elected president. The regime suspended political freedoms, shut down Congress, and targeted suspected opponents through censorship, imprisonment, and violence. This authoritarian rule aimed to suppress dissent and restore order but resulted in widespread human rights violations, including forced disappearances and torture. The dictatorship ended with the return to civilian rule in 1983, leaving a legacy of trauma and ongoing efforts for truth and justice regarding its abuses.
