Notes
[edit]- ^ The Chilean privateer Los Andes attacked the royalist garrisons in different points of the western coast of present-day Colombia between 1819 and 1820, with the aim of supporting General Simón Bolívar's forces that were fighting in the interior.[1]
- ^ The First Chilean Navy Squadron, commanded by Admiral Thomas Cochrane, was on the western coast of Mexico between 1821 and 1822.[2]
- ^ In this section of "combatant 1" appear the independent governments that managed to consolidate at the end of the war, with the only exception of the Banda Oriental, which would have another destination. Later, some of these governments disintegrated, as happened with Gran Colombia (Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador) or the First Mexican Empire (Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador and Costa Rica). Uruguay (ex Banda Oriental) and Panama would be formed because of other conflicts.
- ^ On 25 April 1844, Spain officially recognized the independence of Chile through a Treaty of Peace and Friendship.[3]
- ^ After the dissolution of the Peru-Bolivian Confederation, the iquichano leader Antonio Huachaca provoked an armed uprising against the Chilean-Peruvian victors. Chilean troops fought against these rebels until peace was achieved.[6]
- ^ During the course of the Pacific War, the United States intervened diplomatically in favor of Peru and Bolivia, trying to avoid the territorial cession in favor of Chile. This generated an atmosphere of tension or rivalry between both countries, especially because Chile emerged as a regional power after the war. The greatest example of this struggle between Chile and the United States was the Panama crisis of 1885.[8] The Chilean Civil War of 1891 would end up diminishing Chile's position against the United States.
- ^ In 1903, the Army Carabineros Corps was created, in charge of exercising internal security functions.[11] This unit belonged to the cavalry branch of the Chilean Army.[12] On 27 April 1927, the Army Carabineros Corps merged with the Fiscal Police, thus forming the current institution known as Carabiniers of Chile.[12]
