Augusto Pinochet
Augusto Pinochet was a Chilean general who came to power in a military coup in 1973 that overthrew the democratically elected President Salvador Allende. He ruled Chile as a dictator until 1990, implementing neoliberal economic reforms while presiding over widespread human rights abuses, including the imprisonment, torture, and execution of political opponents. Pinochet's regime remains a controversial and significant chapter in Chile's history, reflecting the complexities of Cold War politics in Latin America.
