2023 | 27 minutes | Argentina
Peronist officer Juan José Valle led a 1956 uprising against Aramburu's dictatorship but was captured and executed in a massacre.
Synopsis
Juan José Valle (March 15, 1896 – June 12, 1956) was an Argentine general and a prominent Peronist who led a failed rebellion against the military dictatorship of General Pedro Eugenio Aramburu in 1956. After the overthrow of President Juan Perón in 1955 during the Revolución Libertadora, Valle resigned from the army in protest against Aramburu's anti-Peronist policies. On June 9, 1956, Valle launched an insurrection to restore Peronism and oppose the regime but was quickly defeated due to poor planning and lack of support.
Captured shortly after the rebellion, Valle was executed by firing squad on June 12, 1956, along with other rebels. His death marked a turning point in Argentine political history, as it introduced unprecedented levels of political repression. Valle's execution cemented his legacy as a martyr for the Peronist cause and contributed to the eventual backlash against Aramburu's regime.
