Question

How were Allende’s supporters treated under the dictatorial rule of Pinochet?

Answer 1

Hint: Augusto Pinochet was a Chilean Army General, politician, and military dictator who ruled Chile from 1973 to 1990, first as the leader of the Military Junta of Chile from 1973 to 1981, being self-declared President of the Republic by the junta in 1974 and becoming the de facto dictator of Chile, and then from 1981 to 1990 as de jure President after a new Constitution confirmed him in the official position.

Complete answer:
Salvador Allende - Salvador Allende was the first Marxist to be elected to the national presidency of a liberal democracy in Latin America, and he led the Popular Unity administration from 1970 until his suicide in 1973. Before the end of his tenure, Allende's presidency was overthrown by a military coup.

The Pinochet dictatorship – Pinochet seized power in Chile in a coup d'état on September 11, 1973, with the help of the United States, overthrowing Allende's democratically elected Unidad Popular administration and ending civilian rule. The country was administered by a military junta led by General Augusto Pinochet at the time. The number of executions and forced disappearances in Chile was 3,095, according to the authorities.

Pinochet's government was dictatorial in nature -
- It tortured and killed a number of people who supported Allende and wanted to bring democracy back to Chile. General Bachelet was one of them, as he refused to join the military coup. His entire family was imprisoned and tortured.
- The military was responsible for the deaths of over 3,000 individuals.
- A large number of people have gone missing.

Note: The Chilean people refused to give Pinochet a new mandate in that referendum, paving the path for democracy to be restored in 1990. As a result, the following year saw democratic presidential elections. With the election of Christian-Democrat candidate Patricio Aylwin in 1990, the military dictatorship came to an end. That was the end of Pinochet's dictatorship.
