Top Secret 

Chile December 1972 

As you may know, we took action lead by caution to prevent the spread of 

socialism throughout the hemisphere in the 60s. Former president John F. 

Kennedy signed the Alliance of Progress which meant that investment would go 

towards Latin American countries.1 Chile was the primary target to boost 

education, and create a structured democratic government.2 The primary intent of 

the United States was to combat Communism and bring Democracy to Latin America, 

though as we know was not very successful.3 

In 1964, Eduardo Frei was elected for Chilean President by an 

overwhelming majority, due to financial support from the CIA. During his term, 

Frei negotiated a compromise with Anaconda copper company to nationalize 

copper mines, which became an important issue of the 1970 Chilean presidential 

election.​ In total ​there were three candidates running in the election,​ Radomiro 

Tomic, Jorge Alessandri, and Salvador Allende. Allende was a leftist politician 

with Marxist and Socialist ideals also one of the founders of Chile’s Socialist 

Party. 

During this election period, the U.S government funded the election to 

prevent Allende from obtaining the title; the first democratically elected 

Marxist President of Chile. The United States did Though things don’t always go

as planned, Allende did gain the title and power. With that certain qualification 

Allende took it a step further when he continued the nationalization of business 

in Chile, which included U.S owned mines.  

While in office, Allende lavished the inheritance from Frei’s term years. 4

When Chile’s international credit rating went down and were not able to convert 

currency, and when the United States help vanished, Allende turned to the Soviet 

Union for financial assistance. In December of 1972 Allende traveled to Moscow 

for commodity and foodstuff assistance, the Soviets did respond to their plea but 

they weren't their first priority and wasn’t enough for Chileans. 5 

Due to this rekindled relationship between Chile and the Soviet Union The 

U.S must either take immediate action or craft a strategy that includes more than 

destabilizing chile. We see two major pathways, each having separate goals in 

mind. We see united states intervention in Chile as either protecting the U.S 

industry or fighting communist ideals6. While your past actions show your drive 

to fight communism, taking that route in this situation has some serious risks. 

If you would like to get only monetary value from Chile you can either 

reclaim the U.S mines or receive compensation for the mines seized by Chile. 

These are the simple and less risky while still lucrative options. They allow the 

united states to gain from Chile peacefully whilst showing a dislike of 

communism, promoting capitalist businesses and transactions, and showing our 

dominance. You could either demand the compensation promised to the U.S

mines management and funds be returned directly towards the U.S. If Chile is 

unable to rightfully compensate the US for for the mines we initiate a embargo to 

put economic pressure on allende 

If you choose to combat communism and Marxist ideals then you must deal 

with President Salvador Allende. As you know, we have kept him out of office for 

as long as we could7 but he has unfortunately been elected. At one year into his 

term seemed to be doing well,8 but soon after the country's economy started to 

tank. Chile is on a trajectory in which if not intervened with, will rid itself of 

communism. To keep Chile's progress undisturbed it is crucial to eliminate 

Allende. This doesn't necessarily mean killing him. Ideally, we would make him 

and his policies a shame to the Chilean public and the world. We have and 

continue to put economic roadblocks in Allende's way But we need to stop giving 

him setbacks and slowing him down , and start halting his progress all together. 

If we are able to make sure he looks like a failure on all fronts the people will 

see communism as a failed experiment and return to capitalism with open arms. In 

order to keep people supporting capitalism, we would need a very strong 

presidential candidate. Allende's term ends in the end of 19769 and If we had 

someone easily controllable in office we could show the benefits of capitalism 

and provide aid to Chile making his presidency a time of prosperity and 

effectively eliminating communism in Chile. With someone under our control in

office, we could further the U.S's could also have access to copper through Chile's 

natural abundance of it. This process has a lot of area for failure or plain 

unforeseeable obstacles not only must we continue destroying Chile's economy to 

discredit Allende, we must find a presidential candidate whom we can control. To 

get them elected we would have to either tip the scale election or have a massive 

campaign with a large chance our candidate would not win. Even if our candidate 

is elected we must keep him under control and work for us. After we've ruined the 

economy, destroyed the people's hope in their government, and elected a 

president, under our thumb, we still are responsible for rejuvenating the 

economy all of this we must also build the economy from the ground up. Another 

option for replacing Allende is, by force. We could destabilize the country to the 

point where another person would be willing to overthrow a democratically 

elected president and establish a dictatorship. We've looked into Chilean 

general Augusto Pinochet looks like with the right motivation could be the 

leader in this10. The problem with someone willing to violently overthrow a 

ruler chosen by the people is that they might not be the best at choosing the best 

interests of the people. We still run the risk of him being an incompetent and 

malicious dictator and possibly pushing citizens even further towards 

communism.

Nationalization of copper mines  

Shortly after Allende was elected president, he proposed an amendment to the 

Chilean constitution which would authorize the exportation of mining 
companies. The amendment being passed on July 11, 1971 to nationalize mines. 
This affected the United States receiving little or no money for the nationalized 
mines. 

Augusto Pinochet, commander in chief of the military has planned a coup to 

get President Allende out of office.
