Democracy in the Repbulic of Chile

Democracy in the Republic of Chile: The Republic of Chile is a South American country, occupying a long, narrow strip of land between the Andes Mountains to the East and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Salvador Allende became the President of Chile in 1970. He was also the founder leader of the Socialist party of Chile and led the popular unity coalition to victory in the presidential election.

After becoming a president, he started several policies to help the poor and weaker sections of society. Allende introduced reforms in the educational system, provided free milk to poor children and redistributed land to landless farmers. He opposed the idea of foreign companies taking away natural resources like copper from the country. The landlords, the rich people and the people associated with the Church opposed his policies. His government was also opposed by some other political parties
