La primera fase del Gobierno Revolucionario de las Fuerzas Armadas y su repercusión en la sociedad

Abstract

The first phase of the Revolutionary Government of the Armed Forces (RGAF) (1968-1975) was led by the Divisional General Peruvian Army Juan Francisco Velasco Alvarado, who was responsible of significant changes in the Peruvian State to tackle national problems which the country dragged from the beginning of the republic, particularly social problems inherited from the viceregal period. These measures were taken as a result of the existing threats in the national and international context. However, those measures which were taken in both agricultural and educational reforms and technological development, have led to different discussions in the academic and political fields despite the years that have passed. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the context within which the reforms were carried out by the Revolutionary Government of the Armed Forces during the phase of the General Velasco; thus, contributing to analytical reflection and argument on the matter subject after reviewing the large existing bibliography about the mentioned period of government and that who personified it.
