Chile: Salvador Allende kills himself with the machine gun given to him by Fidel Castro, shortly before his capture during the coup carried out by the Chilean military with the support of the CIA. Pinochet will prove to be a sadistic and skilled dictator: he will rule for the next 18 years. In the first ten days after the coup, he will bring thousands of left-wing opposition figures to the Santiago stadium, who will be interrogated, tortured, and killed.
