Jorge Rafael Videla, President (Argentina Military Occupation) : All Data
Jorge Rafael Videla was the President of Argentina from 1976 to 1981. During his rule, Argentina was involved in the Dirty War, a period of state terrorism and human rights abuses against political dissidents and suspected left-wing activists. The Dirty War lasted from 1976 to 1983, overlapping with Videla's presidency. It is important to note that the Dirty War was not a conventional war but rather a campaign of violence and repression carried out by the military junta, of which Videla was a key figure.
