Abstract
In Latin America, the political and cultural atmosphere of the 1960s and 1970s was marked by the Cuban Revolution (1959) and was characterized by a series of Marxist-led movements. Within an inter-American context, while U.S. Cold War politics became harsher as protests against the Vietnam War grew in size and intensity, the resurgence of Cold War politics dismantled leftist movements and governments in Latin America. This was achieved by supporting military dictatorships under the prompting of the Doctrine of National Security devised by the U.S. Department of Defense. A wave of repressive military governments began in Brazil in 1964, followed by Argentina in 1966, and then Uruguay and Chile in 1973, with a recurrence in Argentina in 1976.
