Allende's involvement in Chilean political life spanned a period of nearly forty years. As a member of the Socialist Party, he was a senator, deputy andcabinet minister. He unsuccessfully ran for the presidency in the 1952, 1958, and1964 elections. In 1970, he won the presidency in a close three-way race. He was elected in a run-off by Congress as no candidate had gained a majority.

As president, Allende adopted a policy ofnationalization of industries andcollectivisation; due to these and other factors, increasingly strained relations between him and the legislative and judicial branches of the Chilean government culminated in a declaration by Congress of a "constitutional breakdown". With the economy in deep crisis, a centre-right majority including the Christian Democrats, whose support had enabled Allende's election, denounced his rule as unconstitutional and called for his overthrow by force.[citation needed] On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état supported by the United StatesCentral Intelligence Agency (CIA).[3][4][5]As troops surrounded La Moneda Palace, he gave his last speech vowing not to resign.[6] Later that day, Allendecommitted suicide with an assault rifle,[7] according to an investigation conducted by a Chilean court with the assistance of international experts in 2011
