    Answer:

                      The Republic of Chile lies on the Western seaboard of South America. It was the first South American country to elect a Marxist government in 1970, under the leadership of Salvador Allende. In September 1973, there was a military coup in Chile led by General Augusto Pinochet. The Government of USA was not satisfied with Allende's pro-worker policies and funded the coup against Allende. Pinochet became the President of Chile and ruled it for the next 17 years. From a government that was elected by the people, power shifted to the military regime. They could do as they wished and no one had the right to question them. In this way, a military rule was established in Chile.
