Salvador Allende died during the US backed coup of Chile, but other than that, not a lot of people are familiar with who he was.
In this episode, Carmen goes over a brief history of Chile, focusing on Salvador Allende, leading up to his presidency and the events that unfolded during his time in office. Allende's upbringing within a politically active family, his education, and his early involvement in left-wing politics. As well as the socio-political context of Chile during Allende's formative years, emphasizing the country's economic turmoil, social inequality, and the emergence of leftist movements amidst government repression. Carmen tells Cristina about Salvador Allende's life, political ideology, and the complex socio-political landscape of Chile during his presidency, and the covert interventions by the US, aimed at destabilizing his government.
This is just part one, Historias Unknown will be covering the coup, the pinochet regime and the end of the dictatorship in the next few episodes.
