A military coup overthrew president Juan Domingo Perón and restored the  Argentinian political right to power in 1955. During the subsequent 18 years of exile, Perón used the Argentinian political left and Montoneros guerrillas as a primary means of breaking down law and order. He also used them to unite the left-wing trade unions in favour of Peronism in order to return to Argentinian presidency.

Argentina experienced three failed attempts at rural guerrilla warfare between 1959 and 1969. At that point, the insurgents decided in favor of urban guerilla warfare. It seemed obvious that they would be safer and more relevant in crowded cities than in isolated rural areas.

Between the ousting of president Juan Domingoin 1955 and his return from exile in 1973, a number of urban left-wing guerrilla organizations emerged. Six major groups - two Marxist-Maoist- Guevarrist-oriented, and four populist-socialist Peronist-oriented - eventually disbanded or joined the Marxist ERP or the Peronist Montoneros. The Montoneros became the largest and most active of the two revolutionary movements, but fought alongside the ERP in Tucumán province.
