Allende's government reforms

Salvador Allende's government, elected as Chile's president in 1970, aimed to reduce inequality and improve social welfare. His reforms included expanding education, healthcare, and housing; nationalizing key industries like copper mining; and increasing government control over the economy to benefit workers and the poor. These policies sought to promote social justice but also faced opposition from the wealthy and business sectors. The reforms aimed to transform Chile into a more equitable society, though they also contributed to economic instability and political polarization, ultimately leading to his overthrow in 1973.
