Operation Condor

Operation Condor was a US-backed terror campaign spanning from 1968 to 1989, spanning through the Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Reagan administrations. It aimed to overthrow democratically elected leaders in South America and replace them with US-supported right-wing dictators in an attempt to prevent the spread of Communism.

An estimated 60,000 people were killed due to the dictators installed by Operation Condor, and 400,000 more were taken in as political prisoners.
