The Uruguayan historians in total accord interprets that the dependence on military of president who had not support in his own party caused a coup d'etat of 1973 and violation of human rights, i.e., state terrorism. But the idea of both guerrilla and military were responsible for coup d'etat, namely "two demons "theory has still influence among Uruguayan society. The reason why this theory which already lost power in Argentine persists in Uruguay is that some politicians who see themselves were victims of conflict between guerrilla and military have utilized it in electoral campaign in order to attack former guerrillas who have turned legal party and made a remarkable success.
