About this episode

The episode explores Argentina's Dirty War, detailing the military dictatorship and its impact on the nation.

Argentina's **Dirty War** remains one of the darkest chapters in modern history. This week on **History Hyenas**, Chris Distefano and Yannis Pappas dive into the military dictatorship that ruled Argentina from 1976–1983, the thousands of *desaparecidos* ("the disappeared"), the infamous death flights, Cold War politics, and how fear became a tool of government. The Hyenas break down the history with their signature mix of laughs, outrage, and wild tangents, exploring how a nation descended into state terror—and why the legacy of the Dirty War still shapes Argentina today. 👉 Subscribe for new episodes every week and let us know what historical topic you want the Hyenas to cover next. #HistoryHyenas #Argentina #DirtyWar #HistoryPodcast #MilitaryDictatorship #ColdWar #Desaparecidos #History #YannisPappas #ChrisDistefano Support our sponsors: Take Control of Your Money and claim $10 in US Stablecoin (USA₮)!
