### The Historic Compromise
Berlinguer proposed the "historic compromise" (compromesso storico) in a series of articles published in *Rinascita* in September-October 1973, following the September 11, 1973, coup in Chile that overthrew the elected socialist government of Salvador Allende. Berlinguer's analysis drew an explicit lesson: a left government that held only plurality support was vulnerable to violent destabilization by the right and by external powers, as Chile had demonstrated. Italian stability required a broad national coalition.
Berlinguer proposed the "historic compromise" (compromesso storico) in a series of articles published in *Rinascita* in September-October 1973, following the September 11, 1973, coup in [[Chile]] that overthrew the elected socialist government of Salvador Allende. Berlinguer's analysis drew an explicit lesson: a left government that held only plurality support was vulnerable to violent destabilization by the right and by external powers, as Chile had demonstrated. Italian stability required a broad national coalition.
The historic compromise envisioned collaboration between the PCI and the [[Democrazia Cristiana]], bringing the communists - with their massive organizational base in the Italian working class and the unions - into effective partnership with the dominant Christian Democratic governing party. This arrangement, if realized, would have represented the first communist participation in government in a NATO Western European country since the early Cold War consolidation ended communist ministerial participation in France and Italy in 1947.[^2]
