military took over the Seaport
the defense minister was arrested by the
military when he arrived at his office
the military commanders asked the
President to resign I am they refused to

country his country's people on the
radio parts we read in the beginning of
chapter then the military surrounded the
president's house and started bombing it
president ion they died in the military
attack a government elected by people
was overthrown by the military through
conspiracy and violence what took place
in Chile on 11 September 1973 was a
military count the militia surrounded
the president I own this house and
started bombing and in that attack he
was tased and with his deaths it came to
an end to the government which was
elected by the people with their choice
with their older dog vote and it was
overthrown by military
on 11 September 1973 in this picture we
can see Augusto Pinochet who he was
actually general August opener she was
an army general who led the military cow
which the president was killed the
government of the USA
I mean United States of America was
unhappy with I in this room and is known
to have supported and funded activities
that led to the count
Pinochet became the president of the
country and ruled it for the next 17
years from a government that was elected
by the people the power shifted to the
military officers they could do as they
wished and no one could question them
thus a military dictatorship was
established in Chile finishings garment
tortured and killed several of those who
supported iron lay and those who wanted
democracy to be restored he was the man
who led that military cow Gen General
Augusto Pinochet and he got the support
from United States of America and
Shelley Blake support also he became the
president after the death of President I
Andre and he continued ruling on Chile
for the 17 years and he was not the
press but elected by the people and even
the people was not in the favor of his
ik the government
these included general Alberto Bosch lay
off the Chilean Air Force and many other
officers who refused to join the Gulf
general - his wife and daughter were put
in prison and tortured more than 3,000
people were killed by the military many
more will reported missing no one knows
what happened to them those who did not
support General Pinochet was tortured

general Alberto Bosch lay who was

killed by the military and many more
were reported missing and God knows what
happened to them in this picture we can
see Michelle Bosley
the President of Chile addressing her
supporters after her victory in the
presidential election in January 2006
how the edge to Pinochet dictatorship
came here I would like to read the line
from his speech I am NOT a dictator it's
just that I have a grumpy face Pinochet
military dictatorship came to an end
after he decided to hold a referendum in
1988 he felt confident I mean to say he
was overconfident that in this
referendum the people would say yes to
his continuing in power but the people
of Chile had not forgotten their
democratic traditions the vote was a
decisive no to Pinochet this led to
Pinochet losing first his political and
then his military powers the hope I am
the expressed in his last address was
realized felony Cuates and treason were
finally punished political freedom was
restored the overconfidence which
Pinochet's had that his military
dictatorship will continue so he decided
to hold a referendum in 1988 and he was
confident that he will be elected by the
people again and they will allow him to
continue his power but the people of
Chile they use their right to vote and
the right to say no and they had not
forgotten their democratic traditions
and they are no led to Pinochet losing
first to this political and then his
military powers and like this came to an
end of the rule I went to say the brutal
rule of Pinochet
restoration of democracy since then
Chile had held four presidential
elections in which different political
parties have participated slowly the
Army's role in the country's government
has been eliminated the elected
governments that came to power ordered
inquiries into Pinochet's rule these
inquiry showed that his government was
not only very brutal but also very
corrupt after the dismissal of General
Pinochet Azul there has been four
presidential elections held in Chile and
remaining different political parties
participated in that election and like
this the Army's role was eliminated and
now the people elect their
representative their ruler mrs. Ashley
she is the reigning president of Chile
and it's her second term who she is a
medical doctor and the moderate
socialist machine became the first woman
to be a difference minister in Latin
America in the presidential elections
she repeated one of Chile's richest men
with the democracy wins she is current
president of Chile
since 11 March 2014 she previously
served as president from 2006 to 2010
becoming the first women in her country
to do so it means it's her second term
to serve the country as the president in
the last photograph of her victory
speech she is saying to her supporters
because I was the victim of hatred I
have dedicated my life to reverse that
hatred and turn it into understanding
tolerance and why not say into love
thank you
