Description

A failed military uprising occurred on 9 June 1956 against the ruling government. The rebellion involved officers loyal to former President Juan Domingo Perón. Their goal was to restore political influence following Perón’s ousting. Government forces quickly suppressed the attempt. The event led to widespread arrests and marked a tense period of political instability. It remains an important episode in Argentina’s mid-twentieth century political history.
