On this day, in 1973, a military coup happened in Chile against the socialist president Salvador Allende, after which an infamous General Augusto Pinochet seized power and established a military dictatorship that lasted till 1990. How Chileans evaluate this event and what happened after it?

Also, it would be dishonest from me to leave out this fact: the coup was supported by the USA as they attempted to weaken any kind of left-wing movements in Latin America.
