Argentina's 1976 Coup: The Silent Victims of Dirty War

This episode examines the military coup of March 24, 1976, which overthrew President Isabel Perón and initiated the Proceso de Reorganización Nacional. We focus on the systematic campaign of state terrorism known as the Dirty War, specifically the practice of forced disappearances where tens of thousands of citizens were detained in clandestine centers like ESMA. We explore the role of Operation Condor, the ideological framing of the conflict by figures like Admiral Emilio Massera, and the enduring legacy of the Madres de Plaza de Mayo who began their weekly marches in 1977 to demand answers about their children. Through the stories of those who vanished and those who resisted, we understand how a democratic government collapsed into one of Latin America’s darkest chapters.
