In the early 1970s, the government of Chile, led by President Salvador Allende, was overthrown in a military coup on September 11, 1973. Allende was the first Marxist to be elected president in a country with a liberal democracy, and his government faced significant opposition from various sectors, including the military and business interests. The coup was led by General Augusto Pinochet, who subsequently established a military Dictatorship that lasted until 1990. This event marked a significant moment in the history of Latin America, highlighting the tensions between leftist governments and military forces during the Cold War.
