Every summer, Chiloe celebrates an annual
“moving house” ceremony, in which an entire

The Coup of September 11th, 1973
Chile’s armed forces stage a coup d’état against the government of President Salvador Allende. Allende retreated with
his supporters to La Moneda, in Santiago, which was surrounded by tanks and infantry and bombed by air force jets.
Allende shot himself as the troops stormed the palace.
The U.S. government and the CIA had worked for three years to organize a coup against Allende, who was regarded by
the Nixon administration as a threat to democracy in Chile and Latin America.Ironically,Allende was succeeded by the
brutal dictator General Augusto Pinochet, who ruled over Chile with an iron fist for the next 17 years. Supporters of
Allende and Chileans that were against the Coup were detained and tortured.
