1973 Chilean coup d'état
The Chilean coup d'état of 1973 was a watershed event in the history of Chile and the Cold War.
Historians and partisans alike have wrangled over its implications ever since.
On September 11, 1973, less than three months after the first failed coup attempt, and less than a month after the Chamber of Deputies of Chile, where the Opposition held a majority, condemned Allende's alleged breaches of the constitution and requested his forcible removal, the Chilean military overthrew president Salvador Allende, who died during the coup.
CIA-sponsored General Augusto Pinochet exploited the situation to seize total power and establish an anti-communist military dictatorship which lasted until 1990.
11 September, 1973 - The Day Democracy Died in Chile
President Salvador Allende holds a unique place in history as he was the world's first democratically-elected Marxist leader of any nation.
Sadly, President Allende of Chile's election sent a shiver down the spine of the West who were in the middle of a Cold War, whose egos were reeling from the failure to topple communism in Vietnam and who still felt the threat posed by the Cuban Missile Crisis1. Allende was elected to power with 36.2% of the vote in 1970 - his term was to be cut short less than three years later by the criminal Augusto Pinochet who betray the legitime elected Dr Salvador Allende who believe his cause was the right one and neither left room for compromise - when two men of this disposition clash, tragedy is the only outcome. This entry chronicles the events of the day that democracy died in Chile
