Summary
The onset of the coup d’état that transpired in Chile on September 11, 1973, followed by the establishment of a military dictatorship led by General Augusto Pinochet, are understood as the catalysts that initiated the largest migration of Chileans in the country’s recorded history. Overall, more than 400,000 citizens went into exile across the globe (Doña-Reveco 244).
