Dirty War
Okay kiddo, let's talk about the Dirty War. That's a time in history when some people in a country called Argentina were really mean to their own people.
It all started in the 1970s when the government in Argentina got really scared that some people didn't like them. So they decided to do something about it. They made a plan to get rid of anyone who they thought was against them.
These people who were against the government were called "subversives". The government said that these subversives were dangerous because they wanted to change the way things were done in the country.
The government started to arrest and torture people who they thought were subversives. They would take these people away to secret places and do terrible things to them. They would hurt them, starve them, and keep them in small, dark rooms.
The people who were arrested didn't always know why they were being treated so badly. They might have been accused of being a subversive just because they knew someone who was a subversive. Or maybe the government thought they looked like a subversive.
Thousands of people were killed or disappeared during the Dirty War. Families and friends didn't know where their loved ones were or what had happened to them.
It was a really sad time in Argentina's history. But eventually, the government changed and the Dirty War ended. People started to talk about what had happened and try to understand it. It's important to remember the past so that we can work to make a better future for everyone.
