OBJ (Application/Pdf) 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. Chile was chosen as the subject of this thesis because it is the one country in South America where an attitude of preference for the United States has been most lasting among the people, because the course of its rise to power has most closely resembled that of the United States, because it has borne the brunt of some of the most insulting despatches ever sent out by the department of state, because, of all the nations of South America, it has the most justi¬ fiable cause of complaint against the United States and finally, because there is a dearth of written material on the subject. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER PAGE I INTRODUCTION 1 II EARLY RELATIONS 1810-1814 13 III PRELIMINARIES OF RECOGNITION 30 IV RECOGNITION AND THE YEARS MEDIATELY THEREAFTER . 65 CONCLUSION 80 BIBLIOGRAPHY 83 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION The middle of the fifteenth century marlæd the end of an era in world history and the introduction of a new epoch which was destined to transplant European civilization to the uttermost parts of the earth* Por¬ tugal was fairly well united under her ambitious ruler, Prince Henry the Navigator; Spain was entering the last stage of her heroic struggle against Moorish domination; France under her absolutist kings was centralizing her political administration and law; England was in the throes of a severe dy¬ nastic struggle while Holland was still a part of the Austrian Netherlands. In 1453 the Ottoman Turks captured Constantinople; in 1485 Henry VII, the first of the Tudors, ascended the English throne* Three years later Bartho¬ lomew Diaz rounded the Cape of Good Hope, on the southern tip of Africa, and in 1492 the Spanish reconqulsta practically ended with the fall of Gra¬ nada* ^ A few months later three small ships set out to sea under the com¬ mand of an unknown Genoese sailor sailing westward under the flag of Cas¬ tille and seeking a new route to the Indies. With the launching of the three ships from Cadiz the commercial revolution may be said to have really begun. The decline of the Levantine trade transferred the money marts of the world from the Italien oity-states of the eastern Mediterranean to the "western periphery." Coincident with the progress of the commercial revolution was the growth of a new economio ^For a general study of the European background of American history see E. P. Cheney, European Background of American History 1300-1600 (London, New York, 1904). -1- -2 system — mercantilism. "Mercantilism," says Heoksher, "is primarily an agent of unificatian. Its adversary was the mediaeval combination of univer- salism and particularism, and its first object was to make the state purposes decisive in a uniform economic sphere and to males all economic activity sub¬ servient to considerations corresponding to the requirements of the state and H 1 to the state*s domain regarded as uniform in nature. Herein lies the basio assumption underlying the Spanish colonial system far down into the nineteenth oentury* It was to be the attempt to apply the principles of mercantilism to the Spanish colonies in America that was to account in a large measure for the epidemic of revolutions which convulsed them from 1810 on. It was also this new economic system that gave impetus to the growth of national states in 2 Europe. The two nations which soon took the lead in the age of exploration, disoovery and colonization were Spain and Portugal. Among the more important reasons for this were their geographical location and their earlier attainment of national unity. Most important of all probably was the fact that they had taken little part in the Levantine trade and consequently were desirous of increasing their national wealth by the acquisition of new and valuable terri¬ tories. Because of their priority of disoovery the sovereigns of these two nations laid claim to the whole of the newly discovered lands. In order to forestall possible conflict between his two most highly esteemed temporal sovereigns, Pope Alexander VI by the Bull of Demarcation (May 4, 1493) divided the Hew World between Spain and Portugal. The dividing boundary was to be a line running 100 leagues to the east and south of the Cape Verde and Azores ■hsii F. Hecksher, Mercantilism (London, 1935), I, 22. Ibid., I, 2 et seq. -3- islands. But this "line of demarcation" suited neither Spain nor Portugal and the two of them displaced it with the treaty of Tordesillas (June 7, 1494) which placed the dividing line at a point 370 leagues west of the AZOres, there¬ by giving Portugal her only colony on continental South America — Brazil. * Following closely in the wake of the Spanish discoverers were the Spanish colonizers sent out, in many instances, by private companies but in most instances by the Spanish monarchs. In line with the fundamental tenets of mercantilism, Spanish colonization was not to establish an overseas empire or a new Spain but to have available at the source of production an adequate 2 labor supply. But the colonizing efforts of the Spaniards, for whatever reason it might have been, did lead to the establishment of an overseas co¬ lonial empire which gave rise to problems of colonial administration. In the system which she developed to meet these problems Spain made use of her previous experience in governing foreign peoples and gave to the world a 3 colonial system that was unusually wise and efficient. The exploration and colonization of Chile was the backwash result of Pizarro’s conquest of Peru. The first expedition into Chile was led by Don Almagro who followed the old Inca route along the Andean range and pene¬ trated as far south as Copiapo. Almagro was followed by Pedro de Valdivia who laid the foundation for many of the Chilean cities —Saint Iago or San¬ tiago, Concepcion and Valdivia being among the more famous of them. ^ It was ^Van Der Linden, "Alexander VI and the Bulls of Demarcation", American Histori¬ cal Review, XXII (October, 1916), pp. 1-20. o A olose study of the principles of mercantilism and a comparison of those prin¬ ciples with the practices of the Spanish colonial system will, the -writer think bear Out this conclusion. ®Mary W. Williams, People and Politics of Latin America (Boston, 1930), p. 149. ^For these early explorations see particularly the biography by Gunninghame Graham, Pedro de Valdivia, Conqueror of Chile (New York, London, 1927). -4. during this period that a feature of Chilean life came to the fore which has since that time played an important part in the development of Chilean national life, namely, the fierce resistance to Spanish domination by the liberty lov¬ ing aborigines, the Arauoanian Indians. It was their resistance that kept Spanish colonizing efforts in Chile confined to the area north of the river Biobio from 1565 to 1810. In 1612 a Jesuit priest, Luis de Valdivia, entered into an agreement with the ^raucanians voider the terms of which Spanish mission¬ aries were allowed to christianize the Indians and the southern boundary of Spanish colonizing efforts was definitely fixed as the Biobio. This boundary remained the dividing line between the Araucanians and the white men until 1 long after the establishment of Chilean independence. O The Spanish Colonial System Spain’s political organigation of her colonies was at first divided into the two viceroyalties of Peru and Mexico. The viceroy was the official representative of the king in the colonies. As his title implies, he was at first an almost absolute ruler but as time went on his powers were gradually reduced. The viceroy was president of the audienoia, he maintained a sump¬ tuous court at the seat of his vioeroyalty, he was captain-general of his pro¬ vince and had the responsibility for the care and protection of the church and all the people voider him including the Indians. He was not allowed to aoquire property in the colonies during his administration nor hold any colonial of¬ fices except those which he held ex officio.

  • Brazilian Images of the United States, 1861-1898: a Working Version of Modernity?
    Brazilian images of the United States, 1861-1898: A working version of modernity? Natalia Bas University College London PhD thesis I, Natalia Bas, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Abstract For most of the nineteenth-century, the Brazilian liberal elites found in the ‘modernity’ of the European Enlightenment all that they considered best at the time. Britain and France, in particular, provided them with the paradigms of a modern civilisation. This thesis, however, challenges and complements this view by demonstrating that as early as the 1860s the United States began to emerge as a new model of civilisation in the Brazilian debate about modernisation. The general picture portrayed by the historiography of nineteenth-century Brazil is still today inclined to overlook the meaningful place that U.S. society had from as early as the 1860s in the Brazilian imagination regarding the concept of a modern society. This thesis shows how the images of the United States were a pivotal source of political and cultural inspiration for the political and intellectual elites of the second half of the nineteenth century concerned with the modernisation of Brazil. Drawing primarily on parliamentary debates, newspaper articles, diplomatic correspondence, books, student journals and textual and pictorial advertisements in newspapers, this dissertation analyses four different dimensions of the Brazilian representations of the United States. They are: the abolition of slavery, political and civil freedoms, democratic access to scientific and applied education, and democratic access to goods of consumption.

The healthy principles, the knowledge of our eternal rights, the solid and useful truths will now spread among all classes of the state.”1 With this powerful declaration in February of 1812, Friar Camilo Henríquez asserted that the printing press would bring Chile, the most neglected colony of the Spanish empire, into a new age. Henríquez released the inaugural issue of La Aurora De Chile, the colony’s first newspaper, in hopes of educating his people about liberty and independence. With this paper, he wrote, “The voice of reason and truth will be heard among us after the sad and insufferable silence of three centuries.”2 Both the spread of the Enlightenment’s ideals and Napoleon’s capture of Spanish king Ferdinand VII led to unrest throughout the Spanish empire by the early 1800s.

    The liberal movement in Spain: from the Constitution of Cádiz to the broadsword of Pavía. Part II Monthly Strategy Report April 2017 Alejandro Vidal Crespo Director of Market Strategies Monthly Strategy Report. April 2017 The liberal movement in Spain: from the Constitution of Cádiz to the broadsword of Pavía. Part II We left off last month with the betrayal of Ferdinand VII who, with support from the Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis and the Duke of Angouleme, reinstated the old absolutist regime in 1823 and repealed all vestiges of liberalism in Spain. At the time, the key liberal leaders, including Mendizábal, left Spain for London in an effort to flee the reprisals of the absolutists who, for example, hanged Rafael de Riego, defender of Malaga, in Madrid’s Plaza de la Cebada. The liberals organised in London, where Mendizábal primarily engaged in business, remaining there until the Revolution of 1830, when France’s absolute monarchy was overthrown in favour of a parliamentary alternative, the July Monarchy, with Louis Philippe I on the throne. Like many other Spanish liberals, Mendizábal then moved to Paris, where he financed liberal uprisings in Spain, like that of the unsuccessful Espoz y Mina. He also took part in the Portuguese civil war, supporting and financing the cause of the liberals in favour of Queen Maria II of Portugal. First from London and later from Paris, Mendizábal supported and financed liberal movements wherever possible owing to his good relationship with British financiers. Meanwhile, the absolutist contingent in Spain was far from inactive. In 1830, Ferdinand VII was still childless and in failing health.

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.

The sociological literature theorising the cleavages that divided elites during the initial phases of state formation has focused on three domains: 1) The conflict between an expanding state and the elites; 2) the conflict between different economic elites; and 3) the conflict between cultural and ideological blocs.
