Chilean War of Independence

Years: 1810 - 1818

Chile officially achieves independence from Spain on February 12, 1818.

However, the independence process extends from the years 1808-10 to 1818-1826, depending on what terms one uses to define the beginning and the end.

Traditionally, the period is divided into three stages: Patria Vieja, Reconquista, and Patria Nueva.

“Let us study things that are no more. It is necessary to know them, if only to avoid them. The counterfeits of the past assume false names, and gladly call themselves the future. Let us inform ourselves of the trap. Let us be on our guard. The past has a visage, superstition, and a mask, hypocrisy. Let us denounce the visage and let us tear off the mask."

― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables (1862)
