'''Chile''' is a country in South America.
In 1973, a CIA-backed coup replaced the democratically elected government of Salvador Allende with the fascist dictatorship of [[General Pinochet]]. Under Pinochet's reign around 3000 people were murdered or went missing. In spite of being a murderous tyrant, however, Pinochet had several friends in high places, notably [[Ronald Reagan]] and [[Margaret Thatcher]].
In 1973, [[General Pinochet]] gained power, allegedly with some support from the American government. He instituted free market reforms and opposed communism. [[Liberals]] have sought to try him in recent years for alleged murders committed under his regime against his adversaries.
