The alliance between Perón and the Montoneros came to an end with the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezeiza_massacre Ezeiza massacre]], where Right Peronists opened fire on Left Peronists minutes before Perón's plane landed in Argentina. Perón sided with the Right Peronists and ordered the Montoneros to disarm and disband, but they would not. As an anti-communist and an Argentine military officer, Perón was never willing to align with the Left Peronists, nor would he follow the example of the Cuban Revolution that the Montoneros admired. The Montoneros deluded themselves that Perón was being manipulated by his close friends who were all fascists, and that creating enough instability in Argentina would rouse the masses to a Cuba-style revolution. So the Montoneros shot CGT leader José Rucci, rumored to be Perón's only true friend, after killing Rucci's secretary, Osvaldo Bianculli. Unsurprisingly, Rucci's murder escalated things even further, as he had ironically wanted to pursue a diplomatic approach to the Montoneros and welcome them into government. Enraged by Rucci's death, Perón expelled the Montoneros from the Justicialist Party, publicly insulted its members,[[note]]famously calling them ''estupidos imberbes'', "stupid callow people",[[/note]] and created the AAA (Argentine Anti-Communist Alliance) to hunt them down and kill them. He then purged all the Left Peronists by having them forcibly dismissed from their posts, or arrested and jailed if they refused. But out of respect for Perón, the Montoneros waited until his death and funeral to resume armed operations, and many even believed that Perón was innocent and really a helpless puppet of the notorious fascist and occultist in his cabinet, José Lopez Rega.

1952 was a bittersweet year for Perón, as while he was inaugurated for a second term after being re-elected in a landslide, Eva Perón died of cancer that year, and the economic crisis continued. Former allies of Peronism, such as the Church, Catholic unions and the military began to turn against Perón and plotted with the opposition. Once the Church became anti-Peronist, the conflict seriously escalated until Perón was overthrown in a bloody coup in 1955, where the [[TheRevolutionWilLNotBeCivilized rebellious armed forces]] bombed the Plaza del Mayo with jets, killing many civilians. As the leaders of the predominantly conservative and Catholic 'Argentine Revolution" began to dismantle his work, Perón left the country and sought asylum in several places, until he settled in Spain. Peronism was outlawed, but remained a strong political force in Argentina, with its fanatical supporters resisting a nationwide crackdown on Peronism by the government and military by any means possible.
By this time the UsefulNotes/ColdWar was in full force in Latin America, with the Soviet Union gaining a beachhead in UsefulNotes/FidelCastro's Cuba, from which several communist insurgent armies were being trained and deployed all across South America, some with the help of UsefulNotes/CheGuevara.[[note]] Che as a communist zealot had little respect for Peron, and both men were mutually suspicious of each other, but Che admitted that Perón was a champion of the Argentine working class regardless. Likewise, Perón, who as seen below had little time for leftism, liked that Che's work maintained the United States occupied, no doubt having no love lost for them following the American ambassador's role in the 1946 elections. [[/note]] The shockwaves of the Cuban Revolution and its turn towards communism had emboldened left-wing forces all across Latin America, and in Argentina this led to the rise of the Peronist left wing, officially called Left Peronists.
While he was enthusiastic about progressive reform and trade unions, Perón himself was no socialist despite the presence of socialists in his cabinet, regularly snubbed the Left Peronists, and was close friends with far-right strongmen such as Somoza Garcia, Trujillo, and Franco. But the Cuban Revolution was becoming very popular among most Peronist youth, and Perón decided to cash in by making vague statements on television about 'nationalist socialism' in Argentina. This fired up a rising new sector of the Left Peronists; young Marxist students from rich families. Believing that Perón would be an Argentine Castro, the students clamored around him and synthesized Peronism with their socialist militancy, forming the Peronist insurgent group known as the Montoneros.
Perón and the Montoneros both had a mutually beneficial relationship at the time. Perón had people weakening the military while he stayed in Spain, and the Montoneros had the proscription of Perón as a convenient excuse for their armed activities (especially as years passed and people began to forget about the Peronist years, that were increasingly idealized). Facing mounting instability from the constant Montonero attacks, the military finally allowed an election to be held with Peronist candidates running in them, leading to the election of Héctor Cámpora. Campora and his vice president resigned, and Perón ran in a new presidential election, alongside his new wife, Isabel.
