During the Cold War, the perceived threat of Allende's socialist government in Chile to other countries and the world was primarily based on the association of socialism with communism. The U.S. and other capitalist countries saw socialism as a dangerous ideology that could lead to the spread of communism, which they viewed as a threat to democracy worldwide. The fear of the spread of socialism was also linked to the Soviet Union, as the Cold War rivalry between the U.S. and the Soviet Union heightened tensions and suspicions about socialist governments in Latin America and other regions. Overall, the perceived threat of Allende's socialist government was viewed through the lens of Cold War politics and the ideological struggle between capitalism and communism.
