What happened

On December 5, 1983

  1. 1983 Dissolution of the Military Junta in Argentina.

    1976–1983 Argentine military dictatorship

    The National Reorganization Process was the military dictatorship that ruled Argentina from the coup d'état of 24 March 1976 until the transfer of power on 10 December 1983 to a government elected at the 1983 general election. In Argentina it is often known simply as the última junta militar, última dictadura militar, última dictadura cívico-militar, or última dictadura cívico-eclesial-militar —because there have been several in the country's history and no others like it since it ended. In journalism, and more rarely in academic literature, it has sometimes been referred to as totalitarian for its state terrorism mechanisms and an ideology centered around "national integrity", although the more commonly used terms in academia are "authoritarian" and "bureaucratic-authoritarian".
