According to secret cables released, Washington strongly supported the military dictatorship that was established in 1976 in Argentina, which was considered the best option to "climate of uncertainty that threatens its interests in the country."
The leaked document, prepared by the U.S. State Department days after it became known that Perón had been rushed by a pulmonary edema, noted that "we must strive to maintain close links with key military leaders, as they represent one of the few viable alternatives to institutional Peronists," published RT .
Henry Kissinger, who was appointed head of the U.S. Foreign Service just two months earlier commissioned a "document contingency" that circulate among the various U.S. agencies in emphasizing that "any intervention in almost every aspect of the Argentina's internal policy requires the U.S. to act with the utmost discretion and sensitivity ", noting also the importance of not being" identified with repressive activities to suppress subversion ".
On the death of Peron, the most likely scenario, according to the State Department, was that his widow, Maria Estela Martinez, popularly known as Isabel Perón, what happened, and it was a person who, according to the leaked documents, the U.S. State Department expected that would be very difficult to control "centrifugal forces" that her husband was driving, being possible "escalation of violence".
Given this hypothetical scenario, again according to the leaked documents, the U.S. military supposed "gain influence behind the scenes" and "could make preventive arrests to avoid problems."
The February 21, 1976, a cable signed by then U.S. ambassador to Argentina, Robert Hill, reported a meeting with the head of the Air Force, Orlando Agosti, which asked about his country's stance on the situation Argentina , said the United States shared the line proposed by Jorge Rafael Videla about that "only military intervention could handle the country's problems."
The March 24, 1976, a military coup deposed Isabel Perón from office as president of the nation Argentina; establishing Videla's military dictatorship.
