🇺🇸 US Reaction to the 1970 Chilean Elections 🇨🇱

  • Nixon's Two-Track Mind! 🚂
    • Track I 🛤️
      • Nixon tried a sneaky move! 🕵️‍♂️ He sent messages to Chile's Congress, hoping they'd confirm Alessandri as the winner.
      • State Department's wild plan: Use Frei and $250,000 (Ka-ching!💰) in bribes so Alessandri gets picked as President. Once done, Alessandri does a magic trick and disappears (aka resigns) and then... TA-DA! New elections. And voilà, Frei could face Allende and beat him!
      • But plot twist! 🌀 Congress chose Allende. He signed the 'Statute of Constitutional Guarantees' promising to play by the rules (constitution).
    • Track II 🛤️
      • Meet the ‘40 Committee’: A team of top US bigwigs - like the Avengers but less about saving the world and more about politics. Their task? Stop Allende from ruling.\
      • Nixon's new order to CIA: "Guys, let's secretly help organize a military coup!" This sneaky operation got the code name Project FUBELT. Sounds like a secret spy gadget, doesn't it? 🕶️

🇨🇱 Allende Takes Charge 🎩

  • Allende’s Super Plan 🚀: ‘La vía chilena al socialismo’ - It's Spanish for "the Chilean way to socialism". Sounds fancy, right?
    • Industry Makeover
      • Copper industry got a Chilean flag! 🇨🇱 Allende nationalized big industries.
      • Frei had already bought 51% of foreign mines. Allende said, “I can do better!” and took even more. But hey, US owners got some cash.💰 Yet, big question: Was the cash enough?
    • Healthy Chile, Smart Chile
      • Allende gave the healthcare system a makeover. 💉
      • Education got a boost too! 🎓 Following Frei's steps but adding some extra spice, Allende pushed for a bold (and a bit controversial) education reform.
    • Farm Fun
      • Allende wanted big changes in farming. Think of it as giving farmlands a new landscape design. 🚜
