The main period of Bourbon reforms in …
Years: 1684 - 1827
The main period of Bourbon reforms in Chile lasts from the coronation of Charles III (1759-88) in Spain to the end of Governor Ambrosio O'Higgins y Ballenary's tenure in Chile (1788-96).
The Bourbon rulers give the audiencia of Chile (Santiago) greater independence from the Viceroyalty of Peru.
One of the most successful governors of the Bourbon era is the Irish-born O'Higgins, whose son Bernardo will lead the Chilean independence movement.
Ambrosio O'Higgins promotes greater self-sufficiency of both economic production and public administration, and he enlarges and strengthens the military.
In 1791 he also outlaws encomiendas and forced labor.
