Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the influence of economic and geopolitical considerations on US policy in Chile during the 1970 presidential election and on the decision of The Nixon administration to overthrow the legitimately elected President S. Allende through a military putsch. It is shown that neither Chile’s political nor economic ties with the Soviet Union were the main Reasons for this decision. The main reasons for the active US invasion of internal Chilean political life were fears in the American establishment about the fate of the revenues of American campaigns from mining in Chile, as well as geopolitical considerations for which the overthrow of the democratic regime in Chile could be a response to the Soviet Union for supporting the Communist regime in Cuba
