Excerpts: Battle of Chacabuco: San Martin and the Army of the Andes
A short excerpt from our two-part video on Jose de San Martin: “Libertador”, which looks at the revolutionary war of independence in Post Napoleonic colonial Latin America. San Martin was born in modern Argentina, then part of a large region called the “United Provinces”, which at first pushed for greater autonomy for its people, but with the installation of hard line autocratic government back in Spain, a revolution broke out that spread all across the continent of South America. San Martin was a highly decorated general whose creative tactics and humane treatment of soldiers earned him the respect of both friends and enemies. His singular greatest achievement was crossing the Andean Alps with his army, to liberate Chile and Peru – a feat thought to be impossible, and for which he is reve...

The Battle of Chacabuco – When a Hike Led to Victory
On February 12, 1817, José de San Martín and his army of Argentine and Chilean patriots did the unthinkable—they hiked across the Andes Mountains just to pick a fight with the Spanish. After an exhausting trek that would make most people tap out, they won the Battle of Chacabuco, paving the way for Chile’s independence. Talk about dedication! So, next time you complain about walking up a flight of stairs, just remember—these guys hiked over mountains before going to war.

Cut from Argentine movie "Revolución: El cruce de los Andes" (Revolution: The Crusade of the Andes) 2010.
The Battle of Chacabuco, fought during the Chilean War of Independence, occurred on February 12, 1817. The Army of the Andes of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata led by General Captain José de San Martín defeated the Spanish force led by Rafael Maroto. It was a defeat for the Captaincy General of Chile, the royalist government established after the division of the Viceroyalty of Peru.
San Martín received numerous reports of the Spanish plans from a spy dressed as a roto, a poverty-stricken peasant of Chile. The roto told him that the Spanish general, Marcó, knew of fighting in the mountains and told his army to "run to the field", which refers to Chacabuco. He also told San Martín the plan of General Rafael Maroto, the leader of the Talavera Regiment and a force of volunteers of up to 2,000 men. His plan was to take the mountainside and launch an attack against San Martín.
On February 11, three days before his planned date of attack, San Martín called a war council to decide on a plan. Their main goal was to take the Chacabuco Ranch, the royalist headquarters, at the bottom of the hills. He decided to split his 2,000 troops into two parts, sending them down two roads on either side of the mountain. The right contingent was led by Miguel Estanislao Soler, and the left by O’Higgins. The plan was for Soler to attack their flanks, while at the same time surrounding their rear guard in order to prevent their retreat. San Martín expected that both leaders would attack at the same time, so the royalists would have to fight a battle on two fronts.

The Third Punic War, the last conflict in a series of three wars between Rome and Carthage, came to an end in 146 BCE. The conclusion of On February 12, 1818, Chile formally declared its independence from Spain. This declaration marked a significant step in the process of liberating Chile from Spanish colonial rule. The decision to declare independence was closely tied to the victory at the Battle of Chacabuco, which occurred on February 12, 1817, and was a crucial battle in the Chilean War of Independence.
The Battle of Chacabuco was fought between the Spanish royalist forces loyal to Spain and the Chilean and Argentine patriots seeking independence. Led by military commander José de San Martín and his lieutenant Bernardo O'Higgins, the patriot forces achieved a decisive victory at Chacabuco. This triumph paved the way for the formal declaration of Chilean independence.
Although the final, decisive victory over the Spanish occurred later, at the Battle of Maipú in April 1818, the declaration of independence on February 12, 1818, is commemorated as a key moment in Chile's path toward sovereignty.
Bernardo O'Higgins played a prominent role in the early years of independent Chile and went on to become one of its founding fathers. The formal declaration of independence established Chile as a separate and self-governing entity, setting the stage for the development of the nation as it moved forward in the post-colonial era.
