In 1973, the United States supported a military coup to remove Allende from power. Afterward, Augusto Pinochet ruled Chile for 17 years. He was cruel, and many Chileans were killed during his time as ruler.

Step-by-step explanation:

Salvador Allende was a Chilean surgeon and socialist politician, president of Chile from November 3, 1970 until the day of his death.

In the midst of an economic crisis, his government ended abruptly by means of a coup d'état on September 11, 1973, in which the three branches of the Armed Forces and the Carabineros corps participated, sponsored by US interests, three years before the end of its constitutional mandate. That same day, after the Palacio de la Moneda was bombed by planes and tanks, Allende killed himself. After the end of his government, General Augusto Pinochet led a military dictatorship that lasted sixteen and a half years.
