What was the cause of Argentina's dirty war?

The violence that provoked the military coup in 1976 started in 1964. Put in the most direct of terms, the guerrillas started the violence, as Jacobo Timerman, who was himself a disappeared, wrote in his "Prisoner Without a Name. Cell Without a Number." Timerman wrote, "with the appearance of the Ejercito Guerrillero del Puelbo (People's Guerrill Army or EGP) trained in Cuba. By the early 1970's, "the eroticism of violence" meant daily kidnappings and murder by large and small groups. "Systemized violence" then swept the country, so that "when the army seized the government, the entire country...breathed a sign of relief."

The Ejercito Revolucionario del Pueblo (ERP or People's Revolutionary Army), one of the two main guerrilla groups, had openly stated that its goal was to make Argentina part of a "Vietnam" engulfing all of Latin America. ERP guerrilla activity took the form of attacks on military outposts, police stations and convoys. In 1971, 57 policemen were killed, and in 1972 another 38 policemen were murdered. In all, 83 servicemen and policemen were killed in terrorist incidents, between 1973 and 1974. By the end of 1975, a total of 137 servicemen and police had been killed that year by left-wing terrorism. The military, which took power on 24 March 1976, sought to prevent the guerrillas from achieving their aims. It did so with the "Dirty War." On the one-year anniversary of launching a coup to oust President Isabel Peron, 124 soldiers and police had been killed in incidents involving left-wing terrorism.

Between 1969 and 1979 left-wing guerrillas kidnapped, murdered and injured over 13,000 people in Argentina. Thousands of Argentines were killed and thousands more were held in detention camps under Poder Ejecutivo Nacional (PEN). Human rights organizations estimate that 30,000 Argentines disappeared at the hands of the military. There is no real agreement on the number of disappeared. In an interview with the Buenos Aires daily Clarin in 2009, Fernandez Meijide, who formed part of the 1984 truth commission, claimed that the actual number of Argentine disappeared that were killed was closer to 9,000. Between 1975 and 1978, Chilean spy Enrique Arancibia Clavel reported the figure of 22,000 disappeared, which included thousands of PEN detainees held in detention camps. Eventually 8,900 PEN detainees were released under international pressure. The Montoneros admitted losing 5,000 guerrillas killed, and the ERP admitted the loss of another 5,000 of their guerrillas killed.
