Under President Salvador Allende, Chile had a democratically elected government. It was during the 1970’s. There was a liberal government for the workers and the poor citizens of Chile. A lot of welfare policies were adopted by the government. For example, emancipating the poor such as milk for the children, restricting the entry of foreign companies, and distribution of land to landless farmers.
But in 1973 a Military coup led by General Augusto Pinochet bombed the President’s house and President Salvador Allende died.
