In 1973 Chile had a military coup supported by the United States to remove president Salvador Allende from power.
Salvador Allende was the first socialist to win presidential elections in South America. He was the candidate of the Unión Popular party in the elections of 1970.
Liberal and conservative citizens, alongside military leaders, turned to the USA for help in the organization of a military coup. At the same time, President Nixon and Kissinger wanted to interfere in order to avoid the spread of communism in South America. According to documents from the White House, the USA cooperated in sending intelligence, weapons, and soldiers.
The coup took place in September of 1973 and was commanded by General Augusto Pinochet, who became president of Chile and governed until 1990. The military forces surrounded the house of government, La Moneda, asking for Allende's resignation. After resisting for half a day, the president died.
