推翻阿根廷总统胡安·庇隆的军事政变于午夜开始。
胡安·多明戈·庇隆（英国：，美国：，西班牙语：[ˈxwan doˈmiŋɡo peˈɾon]；1895 年 10 月 8 日 - 1974 年 7 月 1 日）是阿根廷陆军将军和政治家。 After serving in several government positions, including Minister of Labour and Vice President of a military dictatorship, he was elected President of Argentina three times, serving from June 1946 to September 1955, when he was overthrown by the Revolución Libertadora, and then from October 1973直到他于 1974 年 7 月去世。
在他的第一个总统任期（1946-52 年）期间，庇隆得到了他的第二任妻子 Eva Duarte（“Evita”）的支持：他们在阿根廷工人阶级中非常受欢迎。 Eva died in 1952, and Perón was elected to a second term, serving from 1952 until 1955. During the following period of two military dictatorships, interrupted by two civilian governments, the Peronist party was outlawed and Perón was exiled. When the Peronist Héctor José Cámpora was elected President in 1973, Perón returned to Argentina and was soon after elected President for a third time (12 October 1973 – 1 July 1974).他的第三任妻子玛丽亚·埃斯特拉·马丁内斯（María Estela Martínez），人称伊莎贝尔·庇隆（Isabel Perón），在他的选票上被选为副总统，并在他于 1974 年去世后继任总统。
尽管他们仍然是有争议的人物，但胡安和伊娃·庇隆仍然被庇隆派视为偶像。庇隆家族的追随者赞扬他们为消除贫困和维护劳动尊严所做的努力，而他们的批评者则认为他们是煽动者和独裁者。庇隆人将他们的名字命名为称为庇隆主义的政治运动，在今天的阿根廷主要由正义党代表。
