Publisher's Synopsis
The Independence of Chile, published in 1911, is a historical account of the events that led to the liberation of Chile from Spanish colonial rule. Written by Adam Stuart Muir Chisholm, a Scottish historian and academic, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the political, social, and economic factors that contributed to Chile's struggle for independence. The book begins with a brief introduction to the early history of Chile, including the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors and the subsequent colonization of the country. Chisholm then goes on to describe the various uprisings and rebellions that took place in Chile during the 18th and early 19th centuries, as well as the role played by key figures such as Bernardo O'Higgins and Jos����� de San Mart������n.Throughout the book, Chisholm examines the complex relationships between the different factions involved in the independence movement, including the criollos (Chilean-born Spaniards), the mestizos (people of mixed Spanish and indigenous heritage), and the indigenous Mapuche people. He also explores the impact of external forces, such as the Napoleonic Wars and the influence of other Latin American independence movements.Overall, The Independence of Chile provides a detailed and insightful account of a pivotal moment in Chilean history, shedding light on the struggles and triumphs of the people who fought for their country's freedom.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
