René Schneider
René Schneider was a Chilean Army general and a key figure during the period leading up to the military coup in Chile in 1973. He is best known for his opposition to the U.S.-backed coup against President Salvador Allende, which ultimately led to Schneider's assassination in 1970. His death was part of a broader strategy by the CIA to destabilize Allende's government, reflecting a pattern of covert operations in Latin America during the Cold War. Schneider's legacy is often associated with the tragic consequences of U.S. interventions in the region.
