I think it would be a good thing to keep the Spanish at least the first time it's mentioned. You could paraphrase, something like: the 'Revolución Libertadora' military coup.

I'd use italics, but don't know how to do so here.

Supporters of the "Revoluciòn Libertadora" celebrate Peròn's fall.

I do agree with all peers; I made a combination of almost all answers as I couldn't agree completely with just one.

I would also keep the original in Spanish ("Revoluciòn Libertadora"). I prefer to use "celebrate" instead of the present progressive "celebrating", and finally, I prefer using the expression "Peròn's fall" for "la caìda de Peròn", I think it's the most accurate translation.

One suggestion:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolución_Libertadora
The Revolución Libertadora (Spanish pronunciation: [reβoluˈsjon liβertaˈðoɾa], Liberating Revolution) was a military and civilian uprising that ended the second presidential term of Juan Perón in Argentina, on September 16, 1955.

Thank you Jenni. What I didn't like was the use of the apostrophe. Agree with other colleagues too that it may be best to leave "Revolución Libertadora" (in italics). Happy Easter & un abrazo.

Tahnk you Virginia!
agree Mónica Torres : I'd make a mix: it's good to point it was a military coup and not a, say popolar revolution' but I'd use 'celebrate', not the present participle; I think 'fall' is more dramatic than the other possibilities
