2. There were so many American and British interests in Chile
at the time that Allende was a real threat to that. When he actually won in a fair election, they pulled out the bugaboo "communist" threat out of their hats. (Communist is like Terrorist today.) This is very complicated, because many nationalistic factions moved in beyond Allende's intent and started a Marxist revolution of sorts and the Russians came in to harvest their interests as well.

He was murdered by suicide by our American operatives who are very good at that.
