It was freedom, philosophers argued, that had at Marathon been defended by the Athenians. Because their victory had inspired other Greeks to resist Xerxes, Marathon had been an important battle: in Marathon, the foundations of western civilization had been laid.

The Battle of Marathon was significantbecause it proved to the Greeks that the Persians were not 'invincible', which boosted the moral of the Greek troops, increasing their confidence to incline themselves in a common cause if the Persian attacked again (which they would).

Answer:

The US were against the government of Salvador Allende in Chile because he was a Marxist and they feared this would increase the influence of communism in the Western hemisphere.

Explanation:

The United States intervened in the presidency of Salvador Allende and supported a military coup by Augusto Pinochet, that would lead to the death of Salvador Allende and the instillation of a military dictatorship in Chile that lasted from 1974-1990. The actions that would actively undermine the Allende government were supported by the US government and the CIA because Allende had Marxist views that when against the liberal democracy ideals of the United States government. Intervention helped assure that there would not be a further spread of communism in Latin America that could threaten the sphere of influence of the United States. I think that the United States shouldn't intervene in the sovereign systems of other countries and that the US should have faced charges of human rights violations for the death of General René Schneider who the CIA paid $50,000 to have kidnapped and delivered weapons to the pro-coup factions who were after Schneider.
