| − | 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. | + | Between the ousting of president Juan Domingo Perón in 1955 and his return from exile in 1973, a number of urban left-wing guerrilla organizations emerged.
