Question 1 • 12011de2 CONNECTED Fall 2026 NM-World History and Geography S2

What is the best description of Argentina’s Dirty War that lasted from 1976 to 1983?

Answer
A
a long and intense war between Argentina and armed rebel groups in Chile
B
a war that was “dirty” because it was fought using chemical weapons
C
a military coup that placed a populist dictator as the head of government
D
a period of repression and human rights abuses committed by military rulers

Explanation

Argentina’s Dirty War was a period from 1976 to 1983 when military rulers used state repression against people they considered opponents. Thousands were kidnapped, tortured, or killed, and many victims disappeared. It was not a war with Chile or a conflict defined by chemical weapons, so the best description is a period of repression and human rights abuses committed by military rulers.
