Allende decides to run for president in Chile in 1970 during the Cold War
Im running to be the first communist leader of Chile
We really like you!
Nixon and Kissinger don't want Allende to win the vote, so they try to stage a coupe with help from the CIA. More specifically, kidnap his General Army Commander, Rene Schneider.
We can not let a communist leader come to power near us!
I have a plan!
Oh no! We accidentally killed him instead of just kidnapping him.
The coup and kidnapping for Rene Schneider failed, and Allende becomes president of Chile
The Nixon administration deny that they were involved with the coup and back out at the last minute.
We were definitely not involved in this coup!
I'm implementing extreme socialist policies here now that I'm president!
During Allende's reign, there was a severe shortage in consumer goods and manufactured products. The more he implemented significant socialist ideas the more the society declined.
You policies are ruining our lives
In 1973, it's unclear whether the Nixon administration may had been involved with the attack on the Chilean presidential palace. This coup was run by Augusto Pinochet, the upcoming president. Allende was inside and assassinated.
