Why did the US get involved with Chile during the Cold War?
The 1970s were times of great change in South America, with peasants and workers organizing for what they thought was a better life, looking up to communism. This was a severe threat to American corporate interests, and Salvador Allende, (Chile's President before the coup d'état) was a socialist on the side of the workers.Allende supported the strike of copper miners, and nationalized the copper mines. These were controlled by American corporate interests, and they did not take this threat lightly. Allende was also a strong supporter of Fidel Castro.The US accused the Allende government of promoting Soviet interests in Latin America as Allende nationalized US companies. Investors from the US company International Telephone and Telegraph (ITT), who owned 70% of the Chilean Telephone Company (Chitelco) thought that the Chilean government would nationalize its assets there, and pressured ITT to put the US government through their connections and lobby groups.Export income fell due fell in both production and price on international markets of copper, the most important export of Chile.From Wikipedia: "Chilean politics ascended to a state of civil unrest amid strikes, lockouts, economic sanctions, CIA-sponsored propaganda, and a failed coup in June 1973".There was a annual inflation rate of over 900%. Some people think Allende would have been overthrown by the Chilean army with or without US support.According to the CIA, although they supported the military Junta, after the overthrow of Allende they had reservations about Pinochet being President. However, he ruled Chile for 17 years. Later it was recognized worldwide he was a brutal dictator and attempts were made to prosecute him in courts.For further information check the declassified documents from the US Government in the George Washington University Webpage (See related links)
How did the Chile revolution began?
Although many leftists at the time and in the following years hailed president Allende - against whom the revolution was directed - as a Socialist saint and benefactor to his people, thwarted and possibly killed by reactionary forces within the military, the story runs rather differently, viewed with more distance and hindsight. Allende first of all was not elected by popular choice: only a minority of Chileans had voted for him and in the end the Chilean Congress had to choose between him and two other candidates who also both had not managed to gain a majority. Allende nevertheless started a policy of nationalizations and collectivations that would have been controversial in any case, but all the more so with a majority of the electorate not supporting him to begin with. Knowing that he could not count on Congress' support and knowing that there was little foundation in law for his policies, Allende often resorted to rule by decree to push through his measures, which quickly turned Congress and the Judiciary against him. It finally came to a point where the Christian Democratic party withdrew their support from him and Congress declared his rule 'unconstitutional'. Allende however refused to step down, and the Congressional majority called in the support of the Chilean army to force Allende to step down. This by the way was unconstitutional too, since Allende had every right to serve his full term of office, even if he could no longer count on a majority for his policies in Congress. On the other hand, Congress from past experiennce had good reason to fear that they would otherwise be sidelined by unilateral presidential decrees or by an (inconstitutional) plebiscite that Allende was considering to push through legislation. The army stormed the presidential palace. Allende was offered a safe conduct out, but he decided to choose 'death before dishonor', so to speak. He got his wish, committing suicide. Then however the army decided not to return power to Congress, but run the coutry itself through a Junta under general Pinochet.
