For much of its first 150 years of independence, Chile was ruled by different systems of restricted democracy, in which the people were closely vetted and regulated by an elite.
Explanation:
- Chile was governed by an authoritarian military dictatorship headed by General Augusto Pinochet from 1973-1988. Repression against critics, often on the left, was extreme, and thousands were killed or tortured. A revised constitution in 1980 put extreme restrictions on political parties and placed much authority in the military president's hands.
- Starting in 1983, protests started to rise in scale and regularity, driven by urban civic movements, which also started to join up with labor unions. The Catholic Church, which had tried to maintain its moral legitimacy in the post-coup era, had joined these organizations in protesting abuses of human rights.
- Violence decreased in the years that followed, and large mass demonstrations increased as civic groups, trade unions and political parties reemerged. A broad coalition — the National Alliance for a Complete Transition to Democracy — was the strongest power in civil society that used peaceful means to push for progressive democratization and liberalization, including lifting civil rights limits and free and fair elections.
- Unions played an significant part and middle class and graduates participated in the wake of an economic recession in 1982. The decision by political parties to work collaboratively was the key impetus for a large electoral and ideological coalition formed in an attempt to overthrow the military in the 1988 plebiscite on Pinochet’s rule. The opposition coalition optimistically depicted the post-Pinochet (that is without Pinochet's rule) future, and worked tirelessly to improve turnout.
- Their efforts were successful; a strong majority won the "no on Pinochet" vote, and the military leaders agreed to respect the verdict. After winning the open elections held in December 1989, Christian Democrat Patricio Aylwin took over as president. Chilean democracy has since stabilized, and the Chile became democratic
