Real Dictators
Victory Amidst Repression
This chapter examines Argentina's 1978 World Cup triumph set against the backdrop of a brutal dictatorship, highlighting the stark contrast between national joy and individual suffering. Through personal accounts and historical analysis, it reveals how the celebration of sporting success coexisted with human rights violations, particularly under General Videla's regime. The narrative also explores the subsequent political turmoil as economic decline and rising public dissent challenge the military government's authority, culminating in the pivotal 1982 Falklands conflict.
