Which general led the 1973 military coup that overthrew the democratically elected government of Salvador Allende in Chile?

Augusto Pinochet

Pinochet ruled Chile as a dictator until 1990, during a period marked by grave human rights abuses and market-oriented economic reforms. The United States covertly worked against Allende and welcomed his overthrow, but investigators found little evidence that it directly supported Pinochet's September 1973 coup.
