Allende's foreign policy

Allende’s foreign policy aimed to promote Chile’s independence and social justice while navigating Cold War tensions. He sought to build relationships with weaker nations to support social reforms and reduce reliance on the U.S. and multinational corporations. Allende emphasized Latin American unity and cooperation, advocating for peace and non-intervention. His government faced opposition from the U.S., which was wary of his socialist policies, leading to diplomatic pressure. Overall, Allende aimed to balance international relationships to support Chile’s sovereignty, social change, and regional solidarity, often challenging traditional Cold War alignments.
