8. Isabel Perón, Argentina (1976)
In 1976, the United States provided indirect support to the Argentine military junta that overthrew President Isabel Perón. This assistance included military aid and training, which facilitated the junta’s operations during the “Dirty War,” a period marked by widespread human rights abuses. Declassified U.S. documents reveal that American officials, including Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, encouraged the junta’s actions against leftist opponents. (britannica.com)
