General Carlos Prats González became commander in chief of the Chilean army in October 1970, after the shooting of his predecessor, General [[Rene Schneider|René Schneider]], in a kidnapping attempt supported by the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. He entered the cabinet of [[Salvador Allende]] in 1972 and served for a time as vice president. In June 1973 he put down the Tanquetazo, a coup attempt by junior officers and [[Patria y Libertad]]. Protests against his support for the government forced his resignation in late August 1973. He recommended General [[Augusto Pinochet]] to replace him, believing that Pinochet would defend the constitution.[^1]
