History
The military dictatorship in Argentina
March 24, 1976 - December 10, 1983
On March 24, 1976 occurred what many expected: Isabel Peron was arrested and taken to Neuquén. The Junta came to power, made by Lieutenant General Jorge Rafael Videla, Emilio Eduardo Massera Admiral and Brigadier General Orlando R.Agosti. Appointed as de facto president Jorge Rafael Videla. He ordered the Navy, Army and Air Force would make up the future government with equal participation.Began audodenominado "Process of National Reorganization."
Jose Martinez de Hoz was appointed Minister of Economy and, on 2 April, announced its plan to contain inflation, stop speculation and encourage foreign investment.
Managing Martinez de Hoz, in the context of the dictatorship that unfolded, was entirely consistent with the objectives set out by the military.
During this period, corporate debt and public and private external debt doubled.Private debt soon nationalized, further reducing the ability of state regulation.
With the economic climate, the military junta imposed the state terrorism that, outside of dealing with guerrilla warfare, developed a planned project, designed to destroy all forms of popular participation. The military regime launched a relentless crackdown on all democratic forces: political, social and trade union in order to subjugate the population through terror of State to establish terror in the population and impose "order", without any dissenting voice. Authoritarian process was inaugurated bloodiest in the history of our country. Students, unionists, intellectuals, professionals and others were kidnapped, murdered and "disappeared." Meanwhile, many people went into exile.
Some actions of the new government:
Suspended political activity Suspends the rights of workers. Unions involved. Prohibits strikes. Dissolved Congress. Dissolve political parties. Dismisses the Supreme Court. Involving the CGT. Involving the General Economic Confederation (CGE). Suspend the enforcement of the Statute of Teachers. Closing nightlife. Sort haircut for men. Burning thousands of books and magazines considered dangerous. Media censorship. He captures many organizations.

"Subversives"
The term "subversion" included a guerrilla organization, virtually extinct in March 1976 - but activists or supporters of any movement of protest or social criticism: workers, academics, businessmen, professionals, intellectuals, priests, businessmen and more ... There were "errors" or "excesses" but a deliberate plan. (Visual History of contemporary Argentina, Clarín, El "Proceso Militar).
The dirty war
The "disappearance" was the ominous formula "dirty war": the "target" was kidnapped ("sucked") by a paramilitary group ("Task Force" or "gang") which, converted into a number and without any legal guarantee, was at the mercy of their captors. The disappearance of people was an action program, planned in advance, establishing the methods by which to implement it: throwing the "disappeared" at the Rio de la Plata (after application of sedatives) from aircraft and military helicopters and septic common, shooting and hiding bodies, without any identification.
Illegal repression
The dictatorship of 1976 completed and deepened the pattern of persecution and systematic extermination began with the Triple A, led by Lopez Rega. Distribution of missing by profession or occupation

Torture
All were included in the category of "enemies of the nation." The methodology consisted in the disappearance of people, which actually were taken to secret detention centers operated by the armed forces., Where they were subjected to physical torture-based interrogations.
Detention camps
They got up secret detention centers and torture. In these laboratories the horror would stop, were tortured and murdered people. They were in the very center of the country's cities, with notorious names such as ESMA, Vesuvius, The Garage Olimpo, El Pozo de Banfield or La Perla. There were 340 distributed throughout the territory.Local civilian police agencies or the armed forces themselves were put to work as a clandestine centers. These secret prisons had a similar structure: an area dedicated to interrogation and torture, and another where the hostages remained. Being kidnapped or "sucked" in the jargon repressive meant to be shot or be thrown into the river from an airplane or helicopter.
Missing
Due to the nature conceals a disappearance of the author's identity. If there is no prisoner, no body, no victim, then presumably anyone accused of anything. (Amnesty International, in its report on the disappearance of persons for political reasons). There were thousands of missing persons: the Conadep found more than 9,000 cases. The human rights organizations speak of more than 30,000.
Ownership of kids
In addition to the abduction of adults, there was a systematic plan of abduction of children. The stolen children or mothers gave birth in detention centers as the children were enrolled by many members of law enforcement, sold or abandoned in institutions. During the dictatorship, the military considered the children of disappeared persons should lose their identity. That's why they did disappear and turn them into military families. They thought that subversion was almost hereditary or was transmitted through family ties. In the same way that the children of disappeared tried to take away his family, society in general tried to take this background that, as the parents of these children were considered subversive. (Diario Página 12, December 10, 1995)
The Night of the Pencils (09/16/1976)
The operation known as the "Night of the Pencils," which took place between August and October 1976, involved the kidnapping and disappearance of high school students in the city of La Plata, who had fought in defense of a student ticket.
Madres de Plaza de Mayo
The group Mothers of Plaza de Mayo was born in 1977, built specifically for mothers of the disappeared, the list also swelled some of its founders. They became the most active opposition to the government sector.
Deindustrialization
The SME was sacrificed on the altar of efficiency, beginning a process of rapid de-industrialization, unable to compete with products from abroad. The implementation of neoliberal policies did not resolve, but economic problems deepened.
Speculation
In early 1977, the economy minister, Jose Martinez de Hoz, initiated a monetary experiment, called "planchette." It was a system of preannounced devaluations which, added to the "law of financial institutions" in June of that year (which released the money market and gave a state guarantee for time deposits), began to speculation or financial bike ".
The easy money
The dictatorship implemented a plan based on monetary liberalism, which was supported by foreign banks and international organizations. The official responsible for meeting the military's economic plan was Jose Alfredo Martinez de Hoz. Ending the interventionist state, the protection of the domestic market and the subsidy to businesses. Salaries were frozen. Let the market operate freely. The final results were disastrous. There was a large external debt, the bankrupt industries and at the end of the dictatorship, was unleashed inflation.
The Beagle conflict
Border issues between Argentina and Chile were conditioned by the political circumstances prevailing in each country. Under dictatorial regimes in both nations, border disputes were about to lead to open warfare. In 1978, after Argentina rejected the British arbitration, the conflict over the Beagle reached its climax. On January 8, 1979, Argentina and Chile signed the Act of Montevideo, referring the question to the mediation of the Pope. Finally, the papal proposal, known by Cardinal Antonio Samore, was released on 12 December 1980 and was accepted by Argentina in 1984 after a non-binding referendum in which the "yes" to the agreement imposed by a wide margin. (Visual History of contemporary Argentina, Clarín, Foreign Policy)
'78 World Cup
The final victory of Argentina in the World Cup has meant that the military junta led by Gen Videla has been amply covered was proposed to undertake the championship.For 25 days, Argentina's problems have gone into the background and the world title won by his selection will keep even longer hidden. (Diario El Pais, June 1978)
1982: The Falklands War
Amid the political crisis, economic and social development of military rule, suddenly on April 2, 1982, Argentine troops recaptured the Falklands. After frustrated attempts to diplomats, the British task force arrived at the South Atlantic and began hostilities.With highlights like the sinking of the cruiser "General Belgrano", which was 322 dead, and the British destroyer "Sheffield", the war ended on 14 June, Argentina surrendered. The defeat marked the political collapse of the regime. The return of the soldiers shed light on suspicions that they had suffered, without adequate equipment and training to confront the British. To defend the island from attack by British trained and equipped military junta proceeded to recruit young Argentines, without military training, most of whom came from poor inland provinces in the country. The catastrophic defeat of the Falklands and knowledge of the death of hundreds of young Argentineans (over 600), damaged the military front, but above all, the reputation of the army, which was considered most responsible for the disaster.
