Explanation:

The Chilean military dictatorship, also called Military Regime, was the dictatorial regime established in Chile between September 11, 1973 and March 11, 1990, and by extension to the period of Chilean history in which said government was in force.

This period began with the coup d'état that overthrew the government of President Salvador Allende. The armed forces and order established a Military Junta of Government headed by the commander in chief of the Army, Augusto Pinochet, who would become the leader of the dictatorship throughout its extension.

The new regime was characterized by an authoritarian model, established on principles emanating from the extreme right, such as anti-communism, the legal prohibition of political parties (until 1987), the limitation of freedom of expression, the dissolution of the National Congress ( replaced by a Government Junta) and the lack of democracy. This was reflected in the systematic violations of human rights committed by the dictatorship, registering at least 28 259 victims of political prison and torture, 2298 executed and 1209 missing persons.
