Allende won a plurality in 1970. Land reform, nationalisations, and a Cold War reading in Washington and in the Chilean right produced a pre-coup crisis, not a sudden whim. The military's constitutionalist commander, General Prats, resigned in August 1973; Pinochet's rise was inside that vacuum.

Navy, air force, and army moved. La Moneda was isolated and attacked. Allende's last broadcast is a primary source. This paragraph names a sequence; it does not teach one. Foreign journalists and the stadium as a detention site entered the first week's record. DINA, exile, the 1980 constitution, the 1988 plebiscite that Pinochet lost -- a long afterlife of 11 September.

The 1990 concertacion transition left Pinochet as army commander for years -- an unfinished civilian control story. US declassifications (especially 1999-2000s) thickened the embassy-and-Track file without erasing Chilean agency. Guzman's Battle of Chile remains the documentary canon in English art houses.

The timeline keeps year, place, and what moved. If “Stadium and DINA” is the movement, the figure is 09 and the year is 1973.1973
