President Juan Domingo Perón was overthrown by a military coup ending his second term. Perón's populist policies had led to growing opposition from various sectors including the military, clergy, and business groups. The coup, known as Revolución Libertadora, was supported by the United States which saw Perón as a threat due to his perceived ties to communism. Following the coup, Perón went into exile and a military junta took control of the government. His supporters were persecuted, unions were dismantled, and his political party was banned. This event marked the beginning of a period of political instability in Argentina. The overthrow of Perón had lasting effects on Argentine politics, leading to a series of military dictatorships and periods of civilian rule. It also deepened divisions within Argentine society between Perónists and anti-Perónists, a divide that continues to shape politics in the country to this day. #Perón #MilitaryCoup #RevoluciónLibertadora #PoliticalInstability #Argentina
