 * 4) **Aim**: The aim of the Chilean Communist Party was to provide the citizens of Chile an alternative political party that had different views than prior political parties. This group expressed their views, often unfavorable to those who opposed any communist regimes, and represented those who had vast political ideas and beliefs (Barnard). The Chilean Communist Party was created in order to express and act out on the political beliefs that were once ignored and not acted upon in Chile before that time period. This political party wanted to increase the country’s Trade Unions while also strengthening the current Democratic party. The Chilean Communist Party joined together with other political parties in an attempt to create an anti-imperialist program (Chilean Communist). The goal of the parties in creating this program was to decrease the number of citizens who did not support their conquest to expand and better the aspects of Chile. These groups wanted to eliminate the country’s dependence on foreign imperialism, instead thriving based on their own achievements and productions. Chile’s economy depends on freedom in order to thrive and prosper, the Communist Party of Chile knew this and manipulated the citizens into believing that they were in control (Worley-Lopez).
 * 5) **Audience**: The intended audience that this party was attempting to reach was the citizens of Chile who were being succumbed to the transition to socialism. The Communist Regime in Chile wanted to reach out to these citizens and provide them with another viable option that would be beneficial to the entire country (Chilean Communist). This group purposely reached out to citizens and knew how to manipulate individuals into following the Communist beliefs and morals. The shared goals of this party often coincided with the socialist party, in doing this they were able to reach out and convert an entirely new crowd of people. The Chilean Communist Party promised citizens that it would continue to rely on its open markets to keep the economy flourishing and strong (Worley-Lopez). This group did not intend to reach out to those who showed imperialist tendencies, they wanted to stray away from foreign imperialism and instead shift the focus on their own labor and efforts. The Chilean Communist Party wanted to strengthen itself from the inside out and focus instead on its problem areas. They planned on doing this by targeting the proper crowd that was more than able to make this happen.
 * 6) **Historical**: This party was developed to continue the change and progression first started by the Socialist Workers Party. The Chilean Communist Party was founded in January of 1922. The group first started out underground but as the movement gained momentum they were able to publically express their opinions. The influence of this party was originally miniscule and was not effective in being persuasive, but after World War II the influence that this party had tremendously increased. This party wanted to shift the necessity and dependence from “imperialism and from domestic big capital” (Chilean Communist). The Chilean Communist Party worked with other political parties in order to obtain a common goal, promoting a country free of support towards imperialism. The program was adopted when the Tenth Congress recognized the necessity of the matter, they saw the urgency in liberating the country from imperialism (Chilean Communist). The party became more favorable when changing national and international events allowed the group to extend its appeal to a wider crowd (Barnard).
 * 7) **Cultural**: The Chilean Communist Party led the way for encouraging political parties to work together to achieve a common goal. Citizens who expressed unfavorable political views were exiled, it was this treatment that led to drastic changes within politics and government structure in Chile (Chilean Communist). The accomplishments that this regime made were eliminating almost all imperialistic ties in Chile. Chilean politics were long known for the coup that took over the nation for almost forty years (Angell). The coup was finally lifted after debate over both positions subsided and an agreement was made. The Supreme Court came to a consensus that the government was in the wrong for their actions, it was this that put a final end to the coup (Angell). The most common reaction of Chilean citizens was support of their government, these people still had faith in the government despite all that happened. Chile eventually returned back to a democratic regime, while still having the support of the citizens even throughout the political transitions.
