Dear editor,

I recently heard about the intervention that took place in Chile and of which our country is responsible. I learned that, although Salvador Allende was the legitimate president of Chile, the United States decided to intervene in the country and have him removed. Moreover, the United States orchestrated a coup d'état and assassinated him, placing Augusto Pinochet in his place.

I understand that some people might support intervention because they want to protect the interests of the country abroad. I also understand that the government is interested in halting the spread of communism. However, this argument takes a view that is too simplistic. By organizing such an intervention, the United States is violating the sovereignty of a foreign country. Moreover, it is showing that they do not care about the stability of Chile or the lives of Chileans. The United States is also demonstrating that armed violence is a legitimate way to pursue your interests, and that any country is entitled to intervene in the internal affairs of another one. All of these values are far from the values that the United States is supposed to defend. Therefore, I am completely opposed to the intervention.

Signed,

John Smith

Which action led to the Bataan Death March?
Elenna [48]

The Bataan death march occurred when Japanese forced captured soldiers to walk for 80 miles to Bataan peninsula.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Bataan Death March was the persuasive exchange by the Imperial Japanese Army of 60,000–80,000 American and Filipino detainees of war from Saysain Point, Bagac, Bataan and Mariveles to Camp O'Donnell, Capas, Tarlac, by means of San Fernando, Pampanga, where the detainees were stacked onto trains.

The Bataan Death March was the point at which the Japanese constrained 76,000 caught Allied officers (Filipinos and Americans) to walk around 80 miles over the Bataan Peninsula. The walk occurred in April of 1942 during World War II.
