Argentina had a bloody military coup (The Dirty War) that
took place in the late 70’s and early 80’s.
Although there is debate as to how many people disappeared during this
reign of terror, it is estimated that 30,000 men, women and children
vanished. A majority of the people who
fell victim to the government’s campaign to rid the country of leftist guerrillas and subversives were: teachers, doctors, nuns, priests, students,
journalists and anyone who was open about their distaste of the government and
its policies. Although the coup ended
and things have changed, a commemorative march takes places every year in Plaza
de Mayo to remember those who have disappeared and to bring to light problems
that still exists.
