+The word ''junta'' is [[Spanish]] for a council or committee, which is derived from the [[Latin]] ''junctus'', meaning joint, joined together, or junction. The term was used during the Napoleonic occupation of Spain in early XIX Century as well in the Hispanic American territories (that became Republics soon after). During the XX Century Military Governments of South America the term was used because of this historic connotation, that way the directory of the nation presided by the Armed Forces was known as "Junta de Gobierno" in Chile and Argentina just as the original Juntas of those countries. The international propaganda of the left against these governments made the word "Junta" a bad reputation, ignoring its original meaning and using it to describe "illegitimate governments" in their view.
