This is a coup led AGAINST Allende, not BY Allende, correct?
editThe opening line:
"The 1973 Chilean coup d'état was a military overthrow of the Popular Unity government in Chile led by the democratic socialist Salvador Allende as president of Chile." Andrew whicker (talk) 14:30, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- That's proper English, the government is what was led by Allende. XeCyranium (talk) 03:02, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

America should be removed from the infobox.
editI think the reasoning is straight forward. To be in the infobox suggests that the nation or people in question played an active role in the coup, e.g did the US actively provide Pinochet or his allies with resources to be able to carry out the coup more effectively. Another key reasoning to have a nation in the infobox is to suggest that support was pro-active e.g before or during the taking place of the coup. I think if you were to ask if the US being in the infobox it would not fulfill either requirement. I would provide sources but the actual section on 'American Involvement' actually supports the claims I have made about America not even being aware a coup was taken place. I think the reasoning behind America being in the infobox is because America was fairly hostile to the Allendre regime and had also supported previous coups (e.g one in 1971 as well as the planning one as mentioned in the section) but the evidence that the US supported this coup in particular is atleast not supported by the evidence provided. The source itself McSherry, J. Patrice (2011). "Chapter 5: "Industrial repression" and Operation Condor in Latin America". 978-0-415-66457-8 is simply an overview of America's support of South American dictators but does not mention if the US actively supported the creation of such regimes, not debating that but just stating that the source is not equipped to talk about the coup in question. The reason I made this a talk page is because if I removed it I think it would highly likely be added back so I wanted to get confirmation first. Brianistheman (talk) 22:24, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
