The Chilean presidential election of 1970 plunged the country into a political crisis that culminated three years later in a brutal military coup and imposition of a ruthless dictatorship that lasted until 1989. In the election of 1970, Salvador Allende, the Marxist leader of the Socialist-Communist Popular United (UP) coalition, won a plurality, but not a majority, of the popular vote. He had lost closely contested presidential elections in 1958 and 1964. According to the constitution, in cases when no candidate received a majority of votes, the Chilean Congress decided the victor. It adhered to the country’s political tradition by confirming Allende as president.
