	South American Wars
		The last major battle of the Wars of Independence was won in 1824 at Ayacucho in the Peruvian highlands by the Venezuelan Sucre.
		The war devastated Paraguay, and when López's death ended the conflict in 1870, more than half of the population had been killed, the economy had been destroyed, agricultural activity was at a standstill and the country had lost more than 142,500 sq km (55,000 sq mi).
		Colombia suffered 8 debilitating civil wars in the 19th century as power passed from one party to the other and centralist constitutions were replaced by federalist ones and vice versa.

	Breeds of Livestock - Chilean Corralero Horse (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		A pure Chilean breed appeared by the beginning of the 19th century, and the Chilean Corralero appeared by the end of the century.
		When Chile got its independence, the horse was a indispensable partner and used daily; in war for the Army, in the plantations for the countryman and for transportation for everybody.
		The Chilean Corralero has its major ties in use for working cattle and is now used heavily in Chilean rodeo, which had its origins in the countryside as a game of chasing cattle.

	War of Independence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term War of Independence is generally used to describe a war occurring over a territory that has declared independence.
		Once the state that previously held the territory sends in military forces to assert its sovereignty or the native population clashes with the former occupier, a separatist rebellion has begun.
		If a new state is successfully established, the conflict is subsequently known as a war of independence.

	Chilean Independence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The independence of Chile from Spain was officially achieved on February 12, 1818.
		This was important, as it established a direct link between the liberalism and federalism of the United States with the principles of the Chilean independence movement.
		To further secure Chilean independence, San Martin launched a series of actions against armed bands in the mountains, consisting of assorted outlaws, royalists, and Indians who had taken advantage of the caos of military expeditions and forced recruitments to pillage and sack the countryside.

	Strange Defeat: The Chilean Revolution, 1973 - Pointblank! \| libcom.org
		When the Chilean proletariat showed that it was prepared to take the slogans of the UP program literally - slogans that amounted only to empty rhetoric and unfulfilled promises on the part of the bureaucratic coalition - and put them into practice, the contradictions between the content and form of the Chilean revolution became apparent.
		Unlike the Spanish proletariat, the Chilean revolutionaries never created an entirely new kind of society on the basis of councilist organisation, and the Chilean Revolution will only succeed if these forms (cordones, comandos) are capable of establishing their social hegemony.
		The Chilean workers are not alone in their opposition to the forces of counter-revolution; the revolutionary movement that began in Mexico with Villa's guerrilla bands has not yet come to an end.

		During the war of independence, the United States therefore maintained a neutrality that Chilean patriots found incomprehensible and annoying.
		The first Chilean mission to the United States, in 1827, was led by Joaquín Campino, who began the negotiation of a trade treaty, signed in 1832, which incorporated the most favored nation clause.
		That situation began to reverse itself toward the end of the Second World War as the United States began to exercise a role of hegemony which caused relations to be structured on the basis of security interests and trade throughout the Cold War, with the consequent consolidation of U.S. influence on Chilean society.

	Global Arts & History: Chile’s Wars for Independence
		Aristocratic Chileans began considering independence only when the authority and legitimacy of the crown were cast in doubt by Napoleon Bonaparte's invasion of Spain in 1807.
		Thus, Chileans, like other Spanish Americans, had to confront the dilemma of who was in charge in the absence of the divine monarch: the French pretender to the throne, the Spanish rebels, or local leaders.
		In that sense, the struggle for independence was a war within the upper class, although the majority of troops on both sides consisted of conscripted mestizos and native Americans.

		The drive for independence from Spain was precipitated by usurpation of the Spanish throne by Napoleon's brother Joseph in 1808.
		The political revolt brought little social change, however, and 19th century Chilean society preserved the essence of the stratified colonial social structure, which was greatly influenced by family politics and the Roman Catholic Church.
		As a result of the War of the Pacific with Peru and Bolivia (1879–83), Chile expanded its territory northward by almost one-third, eliminating Bolivia's access to the Pacific, and acquired valuable nitrate deposits, the exploitation of which led to an era of national affluence.

		Indeed, even many Chilean government officials who had strongly opposed Pinochet during his years of power were offended by the condescending notion that only European courts had the sufficient judicial independence to properly try their former dictator.
		To the extent that civilians are seen to be capable administrators and responsible politicians, the Chilean armed forces lose their most powerful argument for a continuation of their present, rather unusual status as guarantors of a semiauthoritarian constitution ratified in the 1980 plebiscite.
		To be sure, no amount of conversation is likely to supersede the actions of Chilean justice, which is moving rapidly to compile dossiers on the activities of the military during the Pinochet years.
