Aresult of salvador allende’s presidency in chile was the end of military rule. a populist welfare state. an economic boom. an economic crisis.

The correct answer is "an economic crisis". The administration of president Salvador Allende in Chile resulted in an economic crisis in that country. Allende tried to restructure the chilean economy, however the lack of support from landowners, some middle-class sectors, the rightist National Party, financiers, and the Roman Catholic Church led to unfruitful results. In 1972, a wave of confrontational strikes that resulted from the lack of results from the economical restructure, led to economic crisis.

A resultant of Salvador Allende’s presidency in Chile was an economic crisis.

Further Explanations:

Salvador Allende was a Chilean elected statesman, who resigned as the President of Chile from 1970 to 1973. He is known to be the first Marxist to be elected in a country with Liberal democracy. He gave nearly forty years of his life to Chilean politics having resided the post of senator and cabinet minister. In spite of being a veteran and influential politician, the economic policies of Salvador didn’t go well and his presidency brought economic crisis in Chile.  

As a result of the crisis, Salvador was dethroned for the post of Presidency and was replaced, Augusto Pinochet. Augusto assumed his supremacy as President of Chile in 1981 with the backing from the USA after overthrowing Salvador Allende. United States played a very vital role in his succession. His 17 years rule comprises Plebiscite of 1980 that conscripted the constitution by appointed commissioners. It led to the election of presidency and congress, in which 56% of polls were cast against the prolongation of Augusto as President.
