Salvador Allende
Salvador Allende was a Chilean physician and politician who served as the President of Chile from 1970 until his overthrow in 1973. He was the first Marxist to be elected president in a liberal democracy in Latin America, advocating for social reform and nationalization of key industries. Allende's government faced significant opposition, culminating in a military coup led by General Augusto Pinochet, which resulted in his death and a long period of dictatorship in Chile.
