The British consistently upheld the self-determination of the islanders, while portraying the war as a struggle between the forces of democracy and those of dictatorship. Though the United States strove for the appearance of neutrality, support for the United Kingdom resulted in the effective abandonment of the anti-colonialism of the Monroe Doctrine. The Soviet Union viewed the war as an anachronistic return to open imperialist aggression, and backed the fiercely anti-communist military junta in Argentina, even as it waged what was viewed as a "third world war" against the transnational forces of Marxism-Leninism. Meanwhile, the countries of the Western Hemisphere polarised into Latin American demands for decolonisation and the devotion of the Anglophone Caribbean to the principle of self-determination. This division was reflected in the debates and resolutions of the Organization of American States, the Non-Aligned Movement, and the United Nations.

Soviet solidarity with Chile is analyzed at the diplomatic level; at the transnational level, through exchanges with a variety of political and social groups not limited to communist parties; and at the international level, where these groups pursued their agendas in the United Nations and other organizations. Removing the East/West lenses and viewing Soviet responses to Allende's downfall in the context of intra-communist bloc rivalries and the explosion of global human rights activism, demolishes the orthodox paradigm of the Cold War international system and reveals the ways in which Soviet ideology was shaped not only by official party interpretations of Marxism-Leninism, but by the innovations of allies and competitors in the Global South, and the universal language of the UN Charter and human rights.
