I tried Silva for the UFC question and then was surprised when it didn't give me credit for Lula da Silva.

Great variety of people, but in my opinion more South American people can get place in this quiz.

Long live Maduro and Chávez. The saviours of Venezuela and anti-imperialism.
Lula's return to power is only a matter of time. Brazil will no longer be a slave to the US empire.

I mean, 'famous' is in the title and Pinochet is probably more famous than either Allende by a wide margin, at least in the English-speaking world. Make of that what you will.

A murderous dictator is a poor choice of quiz answer. It would be nice if you replace him with a Chilean known for positive achievements.
