Augusto Pinochet gained power in Chile through a military coup on September 11, 1973, which overthrew the democratically elected president, Salvador Allende. The coup was supported by segments of the military and backed by the U.S. government, which was concerned about Allende's socialist policies. Following the coup, Pinochet established a Dictatorship, implementing widespread repression, human rights abuses, and economic reforms. His regime lasted until 1990, significantly altering Chile's political landscape.
