Chile.- The Chilean Armed Forces - formed by the Navy, the Air Force and the Army - together with the police, planned the military coup that would end with Allende and the leftist government. Days before the coup, Augusto Pinochet - who held the position of commander in chief of the Army - decided to join the coup plan and led the troops in Santiago. Finally, on September 11, 1973, today 46 years ago, the rebel forces took Santiago and demanded the resignation of Allende as president of the Government. He refused and entrenched himself with several of his men in the Palacio de la Moneda before the strong siege of the military. After enduring an intense bombardment, Allende forced his men to leave their weapons and surrender to the rebels. The president, who was to be the last to leave, decided to commit suicide rather than surrender to the military and shot himself with an AK-47, although for some historians, he was killed. In the image, the bombing of the Casa de la Moneda, in Santiago, Chile, headquarters of the Chilean Executive.
