Basically I'm doing a presentation on this topic where I have to argue against this statement, any help or information would be much appreciated! Edit: Sorry I didn't elaborate further, basically I need someone to point me in some better directions, I need to argue against the statement but pretty much everything I have found so far seems to blame the US. I was not asking for people to do my homework for me, something that isn't possible as this work must be referenced and checked through a plagiarism filter. So once again, thank you very much if you can help in any small way!
You should mention that the USA tried to promote a coup against Allende after he won the elections (that lead to the assassination of René Schneider) , but the CIA couldn't find support inside the Chilean military in 1970. Only in 1973, after 3 years of socialist government, the armed forces acted against Allende.
So, though the USA actively conspirated against Allende and donated money to the opposition, the coup was decided, planned and executed by the Chileans armed forces, without intermission of the CIA, and the military acted only after the opposition parties asked them to do it.
