The death toll during the Pinochet regime was
approximately four thousand. That is small
compared to the poli9cal violence surrounding
US interven9on in other parts of La9n America.
For example, Guatemala in the 1950s, over
200,000 fatali9es; El Salvador in the 1980s,
over 75,000 fatali9es; El Savador in the 1970s
and 1980s, approximately 30,000 – on a per
capita basis a larger number than the US lost in
all its wars combined, including the civil war.

Thirty-‐six thousand Chileans filed legal charges
that they had been tortured. It is es9mated
that up to 100,000 had been, including
President Michelle Bachelet and her father.
Two hundred thousand went into exile, a huge
number for a popula9on of ten million.

Bachelet is not the only former vic9m of
poli9cal violence in La9n America to later
assume office. So too have President José
Mujica of Uruguay; Presidents Néstor Kirchner
and Cris9na Fernández of Argen9na; and
President Dilma Rousseff of Brazil.

Military regimes were par9cularly vicious
during the 1970s and 1980s. Between 1950
and 1989 there were 52 military coups in La9n
America. Truth commissions in Guatemala, El
Salvador, Chile and Argen9na determined that
the dictators and their allied death squads
were responsible for between 85 and 99
percent of violence, which the US supported
through training and weapons.

The purpose of this ar9cle is to analyze how
differently La9n Americans and US ci9zens
remember the Cold War. In short the laeer
remember it as a triumph over communism,
and the former as one of the darkest periods in
their history, caught between the
superpowers, with many s9ll looking for their
disappeared friends and loved ones.

“Never again” is a popular slogan aier the fall
of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the collapse of
the USSR in 1991 has not caused a similar
paeern of reflec9on and soul-‐searching in the
United States. A few officials have made
abstract apologies for their na9on’s ac9vi9es,
but there has been no comprehensive
assessment of the US role. Despite the
government’s release of many relevant
documents, there has been no public
discussion of the issue; it remains limited to
the scholarly community.
