Dictators

Gregorio Álvarez (1981–1985).

Aparicio Méndez (1976–1981).

Alberto Demicheli (1976)

Juan María Bordaberry (1973–1976)

Causes

In 1973 the military took control.

Bordaberry became president in 1972 and continued with the oppressive policies. By the end of the year the army had effectively dissolved the Tupamaros.

Between 1967 and 1972 the president Jorge Pacheco Areco suppressed the leftist movement; expenses on military doubled from 13.3% of the budget to 26.2%.

The National Liberal Movement of Uruguay, the Tupamaros; motivated by the leftist movement of the Cuban Revolution of 1950, began committing crimes.

When and Where?

*The dictatorship has been the subject of much controversy due to its violations of human rights, use of torture, and the unexplained disappearances of many Uruguayans.*

Uruguay's democratically-elected Parliament continued working until June 27, 1973, when it was dismissed for resisting the military regime. Bordaberry created a new Council of State and put the military in control over civilian life. The new dictatorship was inspired by Brazilian military government, which said that the Cold War allowed all means to defeat the Left and Communists

The slow road to dictatorship started in late 1960s-due to weak government (collective presidency)

It ruled Uruguay for 12 years, from June 27, 1973 (after the 1973 coup d'état) until February 28, 1985.
