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. [[Jorge Ricardo Masetti]], leader of the  ''Ejército Guerrillero del Pueblo'' (People's Guerrilla Army or EGP), which had infiltrated into Salta Province from Bolivia in 1964, is considered by some as Argentina's first "disappeared", as he went missing after the party militants' defeat in clashes with the Argentine gendarmerie. It seemed obvious that they would be safer and more relevant in crowded cities than in isolated rural areas.

Prior to 1973 the major revolutionary groups were the Peronist Armed Forces (''Fuerzas Armadas Peronistas'' or FAP), the Marxist–Leninist-Peronist Revolutionary Armed Forces (''Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias'' or FAR), and the Marxist–Leninist Armed Forces of Liberation (''Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación'' or FAL). The FAL guerrillas raided Campo de Mayo in April 1969 and stole 100 assault rifles from the elite 1st ''Patricios'' Infantry Regiment.<ref>Los 70, Violencia en la Argentina. p. 119.
