Le elezioni del 1970 crearono forti preoccupazioni nell'amministrazione Nixon. La presenza di uno stato marxista nell'emisfero americano aumentarono i timori di un'influenza sovietica sempre più forte e la tensione tra le due superpotenze si fece ancora più tesa. L'unica soluzione per evitare l'affermazione del socialismo in America Latina fu quella di far crollare il governo di Allende. Una serie di eventi, in parte provocati dagli Stati Uniti e in parti causati dalle scelte negative del governo Allende, portarono alla morte stessa di Allende e al colpo di stato militare. Ma quale fu il ruolo svolto dall'amministrazione Nixon? Fu la CIA o il Consigliere per la sicurezza nazionale Kissinger a giocare le carte vincenti? Nell'elaborato verrà espostata un'analisi, tramite lo studio di documenti diplomatici, di tutta la questione per trovare una possibile risposta a queste domande.

Abstract
The 1970 election created major concerns in the Nixon administration. The presence of a Marxist state in the American hemisphere raised fears of ever-stronger Soviet influence and tension between the two superpowers became even more tense. The only solution to avoid the affirmation of socialism in Latin America was to bring down the Allende government. A series of events, partly caused by the United States and partly caused by the negative choices of the Allende government, led to Allende's own death and military coup. But what was the role played by the Nixon administration? Was it the CIA or National Security Advisor Kissinger who played the trump cards? In the paper, an analysis of the whole question will be exposed, through the study of diplomatic documents, in order to find a possible answer to these questions.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
