A SMALL INCIDENT

The coup was planned by the CIA and important members of the U.S. government. The armed force of Chile and the general augusto pinochet (not capitalized) also worked in the macabre plan. The coup was also supported by the economic elite and some banks.

The First September 11th,
Thousand were murdered ¡thousand! Many more people than the second September the 11th
However, after the coup, the barbarisms just get started; because pinochet and his regime remained in power for 16 years. It was terrible for Chilean people. Men and women who had seen their lives destroyed by the death or disappearance of friends and relatives. Men and women without hope.

The First September 11th.

We want to work with September the 11th commemoration in Chile; because, this event or little incident have been forgotten by people, news papers, news, journal, everyone.
So, most people can only remember: September the 11th in New York. But, they have not idea about September 11th in Chile.
What happened in New York? We know more or less, we know that newspaper or news have said. But, what about September the 11th in Chile.
Well, we want to share a little about what happened in Chile.
We know that the horror and the panic is the same in New York, in Chile or anywhere in the world.
In this course, we have heard Pablo explain, what happened in Chile. But we want to deepen it.
In 1970, Salvador Allende became one of the first socialist presidents in Latin America. Salvador Allende implemented programs to help Chile’s poor. Allende, redistributing land to peasants and guaranteeing health and education to all Chileans.
Allende had the support of Chile’s poor: the workers, intellectual, students. However, Allende did not have the support of Chile’s economic and military elite, nor of the United States. So, Chile’s enemies organized a coup.

WHAT ARE CELEBRATIONS ABOUT?

Celebrations are meant to commemorate special occasions that have an important meaning to people. Sometimes these celebrations are joyful occasions such as Christmas or New Year’s Eve where people can share with family and friends. Sometimes they are for remembering important events in history, for example Independence Day (which is different in every country).

There are also days in the year that are not celebrations but dates to commemorate tragic events in the past such as September 11 or the end of the World War.
