The Government Junta of Chile (Spanish: Junta Militar de Gobierno) was the military junta established to rule Chile during the military dictatorship that followed the overthrow of President Salvador Allende in the 1973 Chilean coup d'état.[1][2] The Government Junta was the executive and legislative branch of government until 17 December 1974, when Augusto Pinochet was formally declared President of Chile in late 1974.[3] After that date, it functioned strictly as a legislative body until the return to democracy in 1990.
