This is a coup led AGAINST Allende, not BY Allende, correct?[edit]

The opening line:

"The 1973 Chilean coup d'état was a military overthrow of the Popular Unity government in Chile led by the democratic socialist Salvador Allende as president of Chile." Andrew whicker (talk) 14:30, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's proper English, the government is what was led by Allende. XeCyranium (talk) 03:02, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
