	Leopoldo Galtieri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Leopoldo Fortunato Galtieri Castelli (July 15, 1926 - January 12, 2003) was an Argentinian general and dictator.
		In early 1981 Galtieri visited the United States and was warmly received, as the Reagan administration viewed his regime as a bulwark against communism.
		National Security Advisor Richard Allen described him as a "majestic general." Galtieri's strength was sufficient to allow him to remove a number of rival generals and, in December 1981, he rose to the presidency of Argentina by means of a coup, ousting interim President Roberto Viola.

	Leopoldo Galtieri - Wikipedia
		Leopoldo Fortunato Galtieri Castelli (nato il 15 luglio 1926 a Caseros, in provincia di Buenos Aires; morto il 12 gennaio 2003 a Buenos Aires), fu uno dei militari argentini che cospirarono contro il presidente Isabel Martínez de Perón e che parteciparono al colpo di stato del 1976.
		Galtieri era il figlio di una coppia di lavoratori argentini discendenti, a loro volta, da poveri immigranti italiani.
		Galtieri fu uno stretto collaboratore di Videla e si distinse per la dura repressione messa in atto durante il golpe, che gli permise di conquistare la sua fiducia, valendogli l'ascesa al titolo di maggiore generale nel 1977, e di generale supremo nel 1980.

		Leopoldo Fortunato Galtieri (July 15, 1926 - January 12, 2003) was an Argentinian general and dictator.
		Galtieri's strength was sufficient to allow him to remove a number of rival generals and, in December 1981, to bring him the presidency of Argentina.
		Galtieri, like most observers, considered that the once-mighty armed forces of the United Kingdom had been cut back too far and simply did not have the resources to contest the issue.

	The Argentine Seizure Of The Malvinas [Falkland] Islands: History and Diplomacy
		The new three-man junta composed of General Galtieri, Navy Admiral Issac Anaya, and Air Force Brigadier General Arturo Dozo now held the reigns of government.(3) Galtieri was not an all-powerful dictator, even though he was both president and commander-in-chief of the army.
		Galtieri's good relationship with the Reagan administration and other U. officials incorrectly led Galtieri to believe the United States would at worst remain neutral if Argentina proceeded with the invasion and at best come out in support for Argentina.
		Galtieri is reported to have stated after the war that "we won't wait another 149 years."(10) Faced with the potential of Argentine hostility, Britain is spending huge sums of money to defend the Islands which provide her with a relatively negligible economic return.
