Proceso de Reorganización Nacional

The Proceso de Reorganización Nacional refers to a period in Argentina from 1976 to 1983 characterized by a military dictatorship. The government aimed to eliminate leftist and political opposition, leading to widespread human rights abuses, including kidnappings, torture, and forced disappearances of thousands of people. This "Dirty War" resulted in significant societal trauma and political repression. The term is often associated with the regime's efforts to restructure the country economically and socially, justifying its actions as necessary for national security. The legacy of this period continues to impact Argentine society and its collective memory today.
