Pinochet's rule in Chile was marked by a failed attempt at democracy, as he overthrew the democratically elected socialist government of Salvador Allende in a military coup in 1973. Pinochet's regime was characterized by human rights abuses, censorship, and political repression, leading to widespread international condemnation. Despite some economic successes, Pinochet's authoritarian rule ultimately failed to establish a lasting democratic system in Chile.
