As depicted in the 2012 film No, a plebiscite held at the end of this decade was successfully defeated by Patricio Aylwin’s Concertación coalition. The Trial of the Juntas was held in this decade after two “Marches of Resistance” led (10[1])by the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo against the regimes of Jorge (“HOR-hay”) Videla and Leopoldo Galtieri. (10[1])Raúl Alfonsín was elected president in this decade as Argentina’s military rule collapsed after the Dirty (10[1])War and the Falklands War.
