Respuesta :

Military leaders overthrow the governments of Chile and Argentina in the 1970s because they feared their governments were moving toward communism.

A military takeover in Chile in 1973 led to the overthrow of President Salvador Allende's Popular Unity government. First elected as president of a liberal democracy in Latin America, Allende was a Marxist. After a protracted period of political and social unrest between the socialist

President and the opposition-controlled Congress, as well as an economic war ordered by US President Richard Nixon, a group of armed forces officers overthrew the government on September 11, 1973. This put an end to civilian rule. The military imposed a junta in Chile, which put a halt to all political activity and suppressed left-wing movements, particularly communist and socialist parties.
