      What steps were taken to restore democracy in Chile?

    Answer:

                      (i) Pinochet's military dictatorship came to an end after he decided to hold referendum in 1988, which he lost unexpectedly. (ii) The people of Chile had not forgotten their democratic traditions, that is why they did not want to vote for Pinochet, a dictator. (iii) This led to Pinochet losing first his political power and then his military power. (iv) Felony, cowardice and treason were finally punished and political freedom was restored. (v) Since then, Chile has held four presidential elections in which different political parties have participated. (vi) Slowly, the army's role in the country's government has been eliminated. (vii) The elected government that came to power ordered inquiries into Pinochet's rule. (viii) These inquiries showed that his government was not only very brutal but also very corrupt.
