As we all know, Augusto Pinochet launched a coup in Chile in 1973 and led a US-backed military junta from 1973 to 1990 when it retransitioned into a Democracy.
I'm obviously not super informed on South American history, but is there any way that Chile could have continued to be a military dictatorship, past 1990?
If so, what would have happened if Chile never transitioned back to democracy?
