Civic-military dictatorship of Uruguay

The civic-military dictatorship of Uruguay (Spanish: Dictadura cívico-militar de Uruguay) (1973–1985), also known as the Uruguayan Dictatorship (Spanish: Dictadura uruguaya), was a military dictatorship that ruled Uruguay for almost 12 years, from June 27, 1973 (after the 1973 coup d'état) until March 1, 1985. The dictatorship has been the subject of much controversy due to its violations of human rights, use of torture, and the unexplained disappearances of many Uruguayans.
