Federation Of Student Centres Of The University Of Chile
The Federation of Student Centres of the University of Chile (FECECh) was a short-lived organization that claimed to represent all the students enrolled in undergraduate and post-graduate courses at the University of Chile. Fecech was created in 1978 during the military dictatorship of Pinochet following the suppression of the original University of Chile Student Federation (FECh) in the aftermath of the 1973 Chilean coup d'état. One of FECECh's most important presidents was Pablo Longueira. FECECh was slowly displaced by unofficial democratic student centres. This tendency accelerated in 1983 leading to the refoundation of the FECh. On June 9, 1984, FECECh recognised their ''de facto'' marginalization and dissolved itself.

Military Dictatorship Of Chile (1973–1990)
An authoritarian military dictatorship ruled Chile for seventeen years, between 11 September 1973 and 11 March 1990. The dictatorship was established after the democratically-elected socialist government of Salvador Allende was overthrown in a coup d'état backed by the United States on 11 September 1973. During this time, the country was ruled by a military junta headed by General Augusto Pinochet. The military used the breakdown of democracy and the economic crisis that took place during Allende's presidency to justify its seizure of power. The dictatorship presented its mission as a "national reconstruction." The coup was the result of multiple forces, including pressure from conservative groups, certain political parties, union strikes and other domestic unrest, as well as international factors. The regime was characterized by the systematic suppression of political parties and the persecution of dissidents to an extent unprecedented in the history of Chile. Overall, the reg ...

1973 Chilean Coup D'état
The 1973 Chilean coup d'état Enciclopedia Virtual > Historia > Historia de Chile > Del gobierno militar a la democracia" on LaTercera.cl. Retrieved 22 September 2006. In October 1972, Chile suffered the first of many strikes. Among the participants were small-scale businessmen, some professional unions, and student groups. Its leaders – Vilarín, Jaime Guzmán, Rafael Cumsille, Guillermo Elton, Eduardo Arriagada – expected to depose the elected government. Other than damaging the national economy, the principal effect of the 24-day strike was drawing Army head, Gen. Carlos Prats, into the government as Interior Minister, an appeasement to the right wing. (Gen. Prats had succeeded Army head Gen. René Schneider after his assassination on 24 October 1970 by a group led by Gen. Roberto Viaux, whom the Central Intelligence Agency had not attempted to discourage.) Gen. Prats supported the legalist Schneider Doctrine and refused military involvement in a coup d'état against ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
