About this quiz

What you’ll cover

Move beyond dates and names to understand how and why military dictatorships took power in the Southern Cone, and what their rule meant for institutions, everyday life, and international relations.

Each question is multiple-choice with 4 options and no timer, so you can focus on careful reading and historical reasoning rather than speed.

Skills you’ll practice

You’ll practice building clean timelines (coups, juntas, plebiscites, transitions), linking causes to consequences, and distinguishing country-specific details that are easy to mix up when studying the region together.

Difficulty is balanced as “Mixed”: you’ll see accessible overview items alongside deeper prompts about policies, human rights, and regional coordination, keeping the quiz challenging without becoming niche-only.

Common pitfalls (and how to avoid them)

  • Confusing similar coup years and transition milestones across Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay
  • Mixing up leaders, military branches, and junta structures between countries
  • Treating “Operation Condor” as a single-country event rather than a coordinated network
  • Missing the difference between economic policy debates and security-state repression mechanisms
  • Overgeneralizing: assuming the same political parties, unions, or church roles in every case

Choosing length and difficulty

Use the start panel to set your question count and difficulty before you begin. Shorter runs are great for quick recall, while longer sessions help you spot patterns across countries; raising difficulty increases the share of detail-heavy questions while keeping the 4-option, no-timer format the same.
