Juan Carlos Onganía Carballo (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈxwaŋ ˈkarlos oŋɡaˈni.a]; March 17 1914 – June 8 1995) was de facto President of Argentina from 29 June 1966 to 8 June 1970. He rose to power as military dictator after toppling the president Arturo Illia in a coup d’état self-named Revolución Argentina (Argentine Revolution). (Although Peronism – the chief political force in Argentina at the time – was proscribed Illia’s UCR was generally seen as legitimately elected.)
