1963 Argentine Navy revolt

The 1963 Argentine Navy revolt, also known as Azules y Colorados (Blues and Colorados), was an armed confrontation between elements of the Argentine military that lasted from 18 September 1962 to 7 April 1963. The revolt was attempted by military officers who wanted the government to take a hardline stance against the political participation of Peronist politicians, the culmination of the conflict between Azules and Colorados. The revolt failed to gain much support in the Army and Air Force, and these two branches suppressed the uprising after some fighting that left 24 dead on both sides. The Argentine elections of 1963 proceeded as planned in July and the Navy saw a reduction of its influence.
