Argentina 1945 (8 maggio) - 2000 (1 gennaio) CercaDefinizione
There are close to 250,000 Jews in postwar Argentina. Between 1948 and 1985, 39,900 Jews immigrate from Argentina to Israel. Colonel Juan Perón wins the February 1946 presidential election, and is overthrown in September 1955. The ensuing dictatorship seeks to restore constitutional government, and a Peronist-backed candidate, Arturo Frondizi, wins the 1958 presidency. In 1960, the size of the Argentine Jewish community reaches its apex at 310,000. After March 1962 elections favorable to Peronists, the military withdraws support from Frondizi and establishes its own government. The candidate for the People's Radical Civic Union wins the 1963 elections. A military junta, which enjoys Peronist support, ousts the president and selects General Juan Carlos Onganía as president on June 29, 1966. General Roberto Marcelo Levingston overthrows Organía in June 1970, and General Alejandro Agustín Lanusse overthrows Levingston in March 1971. Héctor Cámpora, a Peronist, wins the March 11, 1973 presidential election. Perón returns to Argentina in June, and is elected president in October on a ticket with his wife as vice president. He dies July 1, 1974, and is succeeded by his widow. Military officers depose María Estela (called Isabel) Perón on March 24, 1976. Lieutenant General Jorge Rafaél Videla is installed as president, and serves until 1981. Political violence continues, and thousands of citizens are killed or imprisoned or disappear. Videla is succeeded by General Roberto Eduardo Viola on March 29, 1981, who is succeeded by Lieutenant General Leopoldo Galtieri on December 21, 1981. Galtieri resigns on June 17, 1982, and Major General Reynaldo Bignone is installed as president on July 1. Bignone allows political parties to resume activities. Raúl Alfonsín of the Radical Civic Union wins the October 30, 1983 election. Carlos Saúl Menem, a Peronist, wins the May 1989 elections. As of 1994, there are an estimated 208,000 Jews in Argentina.
