On this day, 24 March 1976, a right-wing coup backed by the US took place in Argentina, overthrowing populist Isabel Peron. The new military government stepped up Peron’s war against radical workers and communists, murdering and “disappearing” tens of thousands. US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger advised the junta to wipe out its opponents quickly before outcry over human rights abuses could grow.
On the day itself, navy officers took over the presidential office, while soldiers occupied the headquarters of the CGT union federation and the offices of the Metal Workers’ Union.
