U.S.A. intervention in Chile
Explanation:
- Less than three years after Allende's election, his socialist administration was overthrown by an Augusto Pinochet-led military coup supported by the United States on September 11, 1973.
- Following that, the military dictatorship in Chile tortured, imprisoned, and executed thousands of Chileans. The history of Chile—and the region—was altered, and democracy in Chile was irreversibly damaged. Even today, the nation is still scarred by one of the darkest periods of fear and tyranny on the continent.
- Augusto Pinochet, the head of Allende's army, oversaw the coup and gave the order for his troops to march through Santiago's streets, intimidating the public and forcibly entering the La Moneda Presidential Palace.
- Later, with the assistance of the US, Pinochet solidified his hold on power and ruled Chile for 17 years, until 1990, with an iron hand. He imprisoned almost 80,000 individuals, tortured about 30,000, and killed about 3,200 people. Of the well than a thousand of his former operatives, just 75 are currently incarcerated for violating human rights.
