	<li>Edward Korry (US Ambassador to Chile, 1970) was 😢 because Chile seemed to be tangoing with communism.</li>

Nixon&rsquo;s Hit Singles

	<li>&quot;Peace with Honor in Vietnam&quot; 🕊️</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Main Track: &quot;Avoid the Cuban Remix!&quot; 🚫💽: Nixon didn&#39;t want any other Latin American nation to jam like Cuba (aka turn communist).</li>
	<li>Nixon&rsquo;s Fear: Terrified of communism&#39;s beats spreading in Latin America.
	<ul>
		<li>🎧 Nixon was a fan of Kennedy&#39;s hits: Bay of Pigs invasion &amp; the Cuban Missile Crisis.</li>

Nixon vs. Kennedy - The Album Battle

<ul>
	<li>Kennedy: Alliance for Progress 🤝 (Give aid for development)</li>
	<li>Nixon: Trade Over Aid 🛒 (Trade to help Latin America&#39;s growth)</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>The Drama: Nixon tried some secret moves (covert CIA ops) to mess with Chile&#39;s 1970 national election.</li>
	<li>The Villain or Hero? Salvador Allende Gossens.
	<ul>
		<li>Goal: Become the first chart-topping Socialist president in the western hemisphere.</li>
		<li>Result: Nixon&#39;s moves didn&#39;t stop the show. Allende rocked the stage!</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>Plot Twist: After Allende&#39;s hit debut, Nixon went backstage to disrupt and destabilize Allende&#39;s gig.
	<ul>
		<li>The Climax: In September 1973, Allende faced a dramatic exit with a military coup and was found in La Moneda palace.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>The New Headliner: General Augusto Pinochet. His dictatorship show replaced Allende&#39;s democratic performance.</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

🔥 Real-World Spin🔥: Imagine a music industry where artists are countries, and their albums are their political systems. Nixon is like a mega-producer wanting to control the industry&#39;s sound. When he sees Chile (Allende) producing a new kind of music (socialism), he tries every trick in the book to ensure the song doesn&#39;t become a hit. But the charts (history) have their own tale to tell!
