    THE DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES AND CHILE 1810-1823 A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS BY BUTLER ALFONSO JONES DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ATLANTA, GEORGIA JUNE 1938 / ' ' I // / ii PREFACE The most casual study of the relations between the United States and the Latin American republics will indicate that the great republic in the north has made little effort to either understand the difficulties that have sorely tried her younger and less powerful neighbors or to study their racial characteristics and customs with the friendly appreciation necessary to good relations between states. Nor is it sufficient in a democracy where public opinion plays an important part in foreign affairs to confine know¬ ledge of foreign policies and peoples to the select few who make up the go¬ vernment. Such understanding should be widespread among the peoples them¬ selves, so that public opinion, based upon an intelligent comprehension of the facts, can aot as a lever towards more friendly cobperation, rather than as a spur to jealous and rival aspirations. To bring about this better re¬ lationship, v/hich can be accomplished only by a better mutual understanding, every avenue of approach should be utilized. It is the purpose of this paper to utilize one of the avenues of approach by presenting, in an objective man¬ ner, the story of the early relations of the United States with what, in some respects, is the most powerful of the Latin American nations and, in all respects, is the most stabilized of our South American neighbors.

Thesis submitted for Philosophy Doctor degree The University of Saint Andrews Maritime Studies 1996 EC A UNI L/ rJ ý t\ jxý DF, ÄNý Jorge Ortiz-Sotelo Peru and the British Naval Station ABSTRACT The protection of British interests in the Pacific was the basic reason to detach a number of Royal Navy's vessels to that Ocean during the Nineteenth Century. There were several British interests in the area, and an assorted number of Britons established in Spanish America since the beginning of the struggle for Independence. Amongst them, merchants was perhaps the most important and influential group, pressing on their government for protection to their trade. As soon as independence reached the western coast of America, a new space was created for British presence. First Valparaiso and afterwards Callao, British merchants were soon firmly established in that part of South America. As had happened in the Atlantic coast, their claims for protection were attended by the British government through the Pacific Squadron, under the flag of the Commander-in-Chief of the South American Station, until 1837, when it was raised to a separate Station.

  • The USS Essex Was an American Naval Frigate Launched in 1799 and Served in the Quasi- War with France and the Barbary Wars
    The USS Essex during the War of 1812 The USS Essex was an American naval frigate launched in 1799 and served in the Quasi- War with France and the Barbary Wars. But it was in the War of 1812 where the Essex under the command of Captain David Porter achieved legendary status as a raider wreaking havoc on British whaling ships. The wooden hull ship was built in Salem, Massachusetts, by Enos Briggs, following a design by William Hackett, at a cost of $139, 362. The ship was 138ft 7 in length by 37 ft, 3½ in width with a displacement of 850 tons. The fully-rigged ship was capable of speeds of 12 knots and carried forty 32 pound carronades with a crew, which varied up to over 150 men and boys. Launched on 30 September 1799, the Essex was presented to the fledgling Unites States Navy and placed under the command of Captain Edward Preble. Joining the Congress at sea to provide a convoy for merchant ships, the Essex became the first American war ship to cross the equator and sailed around the Cape of Good Hope in both March and August 1800. After the initial voyage, Captain William Bainbridge assumed command in 1801, sailing to the Mediterranean to provide protection for American shipping against the Barbary pirates. For the next five years the Essex patrolled the Mediterranean until 1806 when hostilities between the Barbary States ceased. The American Navy was small when the war broke out—seven frigates, nine other crafts suited for sea duty (brigs, sloops, and corvettes), and some 200 gunboats.

  • Eingliederung in Das Vereinigte Königreich
    Eingliederung in das Vereinigte Königreich Am 17. September 1814 kamen die beiden Kriegsschiffe HMS Briton und HMS Tagus vor Pitcairn an. Die Kapitäne Staines und Pipon, die von der Entdeckung Folgers sechs Jahre zuvor nichts wussten, waren beeindruckt von der friedlichen und gottesfürchtigen Gemeinschaft, die sie vorfanden. Adams wollte freiwillig mit nach England zurücksegeln und sich dem Seegericht stellen, aber die Bewohner flehten die Kapitäne an, ihn auf der Insel zu lassen. In seinem späteren Bericht an die Admiralität schrieb Staines, dass es ein Akt von großer Grausamkeit gewesen wäre, den letzten noch lebenden Meuterer gefangenzunehmen. In den Folgejahren gab es weitere Besuche. Walfänger nutzten die Möglichkeit, sich mit frischem Gemüse zu versorgen. In den Berichten, die sporadisch in der Presse erschienen, wurde die isolierte Gemeinschaft romantisch verklärt und daher von frommen Spendern mit Bibeln, Gesang- und Gebetbüchern, aber auch mit Hausrat und Werkzeug versorgt. Im Jahr 1823 blieb als erster Siedler nach den Meuterern der Schiffszimmermann John Buffet auf der Insel, 1828 George Nobbs, der angeblich uneheliche Sohn eines Marquis, der sich als Prediger etablierte. Im Jahr 1831 wurden alle Bewohner nach Tahiti evakuiert. Nachdem dort etliche Pitcairner, darunter Fletcher Christians Sohn Thursday October, an Infektionskrankheiten gestorben waren, kehrten 65 Überlebende bereits im September 1831 auf ihre isolierte Insel zurück. Nach Übergriffen vorbeifahrender Walfänger strebten die Bewohner den Schutz durch die britische Krone an. Mit Unterstützung des Kapitäns Elliot vom britischen Walfänger Fly formulierten sie eine Verfassung für die Inselgemeinschaft, die am 30. November 1838 an Bord der Fly unterzeichnet wurde. Mit dem British Settlements Act vom 16. September 1887 wurde Pitcairn dem Britischen Königreich auch de jure unterstellt.
