First Hints. The beginning of the end came last November, when Illia and Onganía had a falling out. A tough professional soldier who sticks rigidly to the traditional army code, Onganía is a man of quiet authority and determination. After President Arturo Frondizi's overthrow in 1962, it was Onganía as commander of the army's crack motorized cavalry corps who routed a military faction favoring old-style, jack-booted dictatorship, and who later paved the way for Illia's election in 1963. For his pains, Onganía was made...
...Only the strong hand of the military, which threw him out in the name of constitutional government, keeps him from returning-legitimately-to power. In March 1962, after Peronistas captured the governorships of nine provinces and won 44 seats in the national legislature, the military deposed President Arturo Frondizi, and managed to get Illia elected by disqualifying Peronista candidates for the electoral college.

He sent tanks rumbling into the city and, after a series of sharp, bloody clashes, routed the army's Colorado faction, which stood for old-style, jack-booted dictatorship. Illia's peaceful election ten months later consolidated Ongania's triumph...
...little reminiscent of the 1962 elections under President Arturo Frondizi, when the Peronistas won 35% of the vote, 44 seats and nine governorships. The difference was that in 1962 the Perón-hating military ousted Frondizi and promptly annulled the elections. This time, the military felt safe in allowing the Peronistas to run. There were no governorships at stake, and the government was in no real jeopardy in Congress. Even so, the results caused considerable head spinning...
Raises All Around. The only man who dared to flag down the railroads was ousted President Arturo Frondizi, who fired 40,000 useless workers in 1961. But the powerful 234,000-man railroad unions struck for 42 days until Frondizi called off his reforms and granted 30% raises all around...
