Allende lose the elction of 1970

Salvador Allende won the chilean elections of 1970 with a marginal majority.

If he hadn´t would there still be a militäry coup in the early 1970th?
And if not, what would happen, if Allende got elected in 1976?

Well there would probably not be a coup, since the
main reaseon for the coup was his communistbeliefs, and
close links to both Castro and SSSR whom he did get
financial backing from, that and of course his big nationalization
programs of both industry and big farms.
The Chilean senate were not happy with the Allende government
either whom they accused of breaking the constitution on
several occations.

Yes, there would have been no need for the US and the armed forces to overthrow democracy, if only the Chilean people had voted the right way. :rolleyes:

It would have been a very troubled 4 years under Rodriguez, we would have seen lots of strikes, and extreme right targeted killings of leftists. The government would have limped on to 1974 when a new president, Salvador Allende would win a bigger plurality (40%). The big question is whether, with Nixon occupied with being impeached, there would still be a CIA coup, my gut feeling is yes.

So the result would still be CIA 1, Democracy 0, but the match would be a year later.

I got the idea that it could still be a coup in 1973. Some disapointed Socialist turn to Terrorism and like you said there are strikes and rightwing death squadrons, so the army propably still takes over.
If not, then the next election would be 1976 (lets repeat, Kids: Not every country has a 4-years term like the USA) then Ford would have to deal with it. And I don´t know if he and the CIA would be in the codition to do anything against it.
Maybe if Ford get reelected, but if he still lose, I think Carter will not order a coup.
