Allende's policies

Salvador Allende, Chile’s president from 1970 to 1973, aimed to reduce inequality and improve social welfare. He promoted policies like expanding education, healthcare, and social services, and nationalized industries such as copper mining to benefit the country’s economy. His government sought to implement a democratic form of socialism, emphasizing workers’ rights and income redistribution. These changes faced opposition from conservatives and business interests, leading to social tensions. His presidency ended with a military coup in 1973. Overall, Allende’s policies focused on social justice, economic reform, and democratization, but encountered significant political and economic challenges.
