Allende
notes: label: Description
content: A poster referencing Salvador Allende, socialist president of Chile from 1970-1973. As president he had plans to nationalize major industries, improve living standards for the working class, and expand education. In 1973, a coup d'etat, with support from the United States Central Intelligence Agency, overthrew Allende. He died by suicide. General Augusto Pinochet did not relinquish authority and Chile was ruled by a military junta until 1990. Under the military junta, Congress was disbanned, the Constitution was suspended and the persecution of dissidents resulted in over 3000 people dissappearing or being killed.
