The 1973 Chilean coup d'état took place following an extended period of social unrest and political tension between the right-controlled Congress of Chile and the socialist president Salvador Allende. As president, Allende adopted a policy of nationalization of industries and collectivization. The coup took place on 11 September 1973, between 7:00 AM (when the navy captured Valparaíso), and 2:30 PM (when the defenders of La Moneda Palace surrendered). Allende was overthrown by the armed forces and national police and his appointed army chief, Augusto Pinochet, rose to supreme power within a year of the coup. This event changed the history of Chile for the rest of 20th century.
