His predecessor, Salvador Allende , nationalized the country's copper mines and thousands of chilean businesses, farms and factories, so he was ousted in a military coup, to be replaced by Pinochet, friendly to US interests.

The liberalization of the economy led to a free market and two periods of economic growth, free enterprise and creation of wealth also known as "the miracle of Chile".

A true statement about the Pinochet regime is that it was a brutal Fascist military Dictatorship, that seized power in an American-backed coup in 1973 to overthrow a democratically-elected Marxist Government and conducted a reign of terror that lasted for 18 years.

His suspension of Civil Rights led to many disappearances (especially of socialists)
