Onganía
Juan Carlos Onganía was an Argentine military officer and politician who served as the de facto President of Argentina from 1966 to 1970 after leading a coup d'état that overthrew the democratically elected government of Arturo Umberto Illia. His regime was characterized by authoritarianism, significant censorship, and repression of political dissent. Onganía's government implemented a series of economic policies aimed at stabilizing the economy, but his heavy-handed approach towards cultural and political freedoms led to widespread discontent and protests, ultimately resulting in his removal from power.
