In Spain it is also used to refer to the elected government of regions (example: Junta de Andalucía ). In Portugal , the local council is known as the Junta de Freguesia . If the military makes up the ruling part of a state government , this part is called the military junta . Military juniors gain power through freedom or independence movements or military coups.
history
The principle of the junta goes back to the Junta Suprema Central , which was formed in Spain in 1808 to wage the war of liberation against Napoleon while King Ferdinand VII was imprisoned in France. The special committees set up by Philip II for special tasks, such as military campaigns, were called juntas . Further examples of a junta are the Greek military dictatorship from 1967 to 1974 and the government of Chile from 1973 to 1989 under Augusto Pinochet , the Argentine government in the so-called " Process of National Reorganization " from 1976 to 1983 or - at least in current usage - the military dictatorship in Myanmar (formerly Burma or Burma).
Junta governments were often formed by right-wing dictatorships, as groups with different ideological backgrounds, such as conservatives, liberals and nationalists, cooperated in order to work together effectively against the left.
