Pinochet's rule in Chile saw a failed attempt at democracy as he came to power through a military coup overthrowing the democratically elected government of Salvador Allende. Pinochet's regime was marked by human rights abuses, political repression, and censorship. Despite some economic successes, the lack of political freedom and democratic institutions led to a period of authoritarian rule that lasted for nearly two decades.
