In Argentina, from 1969 to 1979, a wave of violence occurred linked to the actions of left-wing terrorist organizations like Montoneros, ERP, and FAR. These groups carried out assassinations, kidnappings, bombings, and armed attacks, leading to the deaths of thousands. The conflict peaked in 1974-1975, with an average of 10 attacks per day. The authorities, including President Juan Perón's government, took steps to combat subversion, but by 1976, the situation had become critical. In March 1976, a military coup occurred, and the armed forces took on the responsibility for leading the so-called 'Dirty War' with the goal of annihilating these terrorist groups. This period left a deep mark on Argentine history, sparking debates about human rights, the responsibility of the military and politicians, and the nature of the conflict itself.
