Sumario:On the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the coup d’état of March 24, 1976, which ushered in the last military dictatorship, this article seeks to examine that event through the interpretive lenses afforded by the historical perspective granted by the passage of time. The analysis moves between historical and historiographical frameworks, understood as inseparable for a meaningful reflection on the phenomenon. To this end, the article first proposes–by way of an essay–a historical perspective that approaches the event from three distinct yet convergent angles: (a) the dictatorship within the long–term trajectory of twentieth–century Argentine history; (b) the dictatorship in the synchronic context of regional processes; and (c) the dictatorship as a historical rupture. In the second part, the discussion turns to the historiographical contributions that have attempted to interpret this event.
