First phrase of the article

The article is called Military dictatorship in El Salvador. My proposal for the lead/first phrase of the article is:

The military dictatorship in El Salvador was the period of time in Salvadoran history where the Salvadoran Armed Forces governed the country for almost 48 years from 2 December 1931 until 15 October 1979.

However, another user insists on reverting my edits to his prefered version of it:

The Salvadoran military government, officially known as the Republic of El Salvador (Spanish: República de El Salvador), and simply known as El Salvador, was the period of time in Salvadoran history where the Salvadoran Armed Forces governed the country for almost 48 years from 2 December 1931 until 15 October 1979.

As he doesn't seem to be able to compromise, and I truly believe the word "dictatorship" must be present in the first phrase of an article called "Military dictatorship in El Salvador", it would be great to have third-opinions here. Thanks in advance. Dan Palraz (talk) 14:22, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
