Montoneros

The Montoneros were a Argentine guerrilla group active mainly in the 1970s, advocating for social justice and political change. They initially formed as a left-wing movement opposing military rule and government corruption. Using tactics such as kidnappings, bombings, and ambushes, they targeted military, government officials, and symbols of authority. Their goal was to promote socialism and restore democratic rights, but their actions also led to widespread violence and repression. Over time, the group diminished due to government crackdowns, internal conflicts, and changing political climates. The Montoneros remain a complex and controversial part of Argentina’s turbulent history.
