Russell Lohse Assistant Professor of History Thesis Supervisor Dr. Catherine Wanner Associate Professor of History, Anthropology, and Religious Studies Honors Advisor *Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College i ABSTRACT This thesis will explain the political legacies of the South American liberators Simón Bolívar and Bernardo O’Higgins. It will provide an explanation of the lives of the two men and events in South America and Europe that led to the Spanish American independence movements, looking at Venezuela and Chile with more detail. Next it will describe the life of Bolívar and his influence on the Venezuelan independence movement, the formation of Venezuela’s governments and what Bolívar meant for Venezuela’s future. The following section will then describe the life of O’Higgins and his influence on the Chilean independence movement, the formation of Chile’s government and early constitutions and the impact O’Higgins had on Chile’s future. Finally it will conclude with a discussion of the differences and similarities between the actions of the two men and why Chile developed a more constitutionally minded governmental history while Venezuela was ruled by a series of military dictatorships. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES …………………………………………………………………………iii Introduction ...……………………………………………………………………………….. 1 Part 1: Simón Bolívar ...…………………………………………………………………….. 4 The Independence of Venezuela ……………………………………………………10 The First Republic ………………………………………………………………….11 The Second Republic ……………………………………………………………… 16 The Third Republic ………………………………………………………………... 21 The Bolivarian Legacy ……………………………………………………………. 35 Part II: Bernardo O’Higgins ………………………………………………………………. 37 The Independence of Chile ………………………………………………………... 39 The Patria Vieja …………………………………………………………………… 40 The Patria Nueva ………………………………………………………………….. 44 The Government of O’Higgins ……………………………………………………. 45 Chile After O’Higgins …………………………………………………………….. 62 Conclusion ………………………………………………………………………………… 70 Bibliography ………………………………………………………………………………. 75 iii LIST OF FIGURES Figure 1.1 South America 1800 – 30 ……………………………………………………….. 3 Figure 2.1 Simón Bolívar, 1825 ……………………………………………………………. 7 Figure 2.2 Spanish America: the Bolivarian theater ………………………………………..11 Figure 2.3 The “Campaña Admirable” of 1813 …………………………………………… 17 Figure 2.4 Ethnic composition of the Venezuelan population at independence …………... 21 Figure 3.1 Bernardo O’Higgins …………………………………………………………… 38 Figure 3.2 The crossing of the Andes ……………………………………………………... 45 Figure 3.3 Route of the Army of the Andes ………………………………………………. 47 Figure 3.4 20th century stamps of Bolivar ………………………………………………… 71 1 Introduction At the beginning of the 19th century Spain controlled the largest European empire; however, it was no longer was the most powerful in economic, political or military terms.1 The Spanish American elite had enjoyed a century of economic development and expansion – at the expense of the Spanish Crown. Therefore in the 18th century the Bourbon government in Spain had begun to enact the series of reforms aimed at improving the economic status of the Crown. However, coupled with the Napoleonic Revolution, these reforms instead triggered the Spanish American independence movements. In order to increase its revenue, the Spanish Crown imposed heavy taxes on its colonies in much the same way as the British did on their North American colonies. It extended monopolies over the tobacco and spirit industries and increased the sales tax percentage. The final Bourbon reform, the Consolidation Decree passed in 1804, required the transfer of charitable funds from the Americas to the Crown.2 These were reforms that affected members of all social classes and every level of production – from the peasants to the elite and from the farmers to the merchants. The more restrictive the reforms, the more resistance that mounted. There was a brief moment of improvement in the eyes of the Spanish American elite when the Bourbons decided to open their American colonies to international trade. The monopolistic control subsided a bit, tariffs were lowered and the colonies were no longer 1. David Bushnell, Simón Bolívar: Liberation and Disappointment (New York: Pearson Education, 2004), 17. 2. John Lynch, Latin America Between Colony and Nation (New York: Palgrave, 2001), 75-76. 2 forced to trade with only Cádiz and Seville but could now trade with each other as well.3 However, the colonists soon realized that what they perceived as freedom actually meant that they were now unprotected from the industries of foreign powers such as France, Great Britain and the United States. Nevertheless, while the industries suffered from foreign competition, the agricultural sector thrived with the new trading partners and consistently challenged the Crown for less regulation and more consumer outlets. The opening up of Spanish American ports further undermined Spanish authority in America and weakened the royal government. It set a precedent for increasing freedoms in the colonies that could not be reversed, especially considering the contemporary events of the U.S. and Haitian Revolutions. Venezuela was a large and important agricultural colony for Spain, however until the 1730s it was largely overlooked by the Spanish Crown. During this time period the large landholders – mainly cacao producers – created a regional elite ruling class that had a monopoly on the market. Popular unrest and rebellion surrounding this monopoly in 1749 caused the royal government to pay even more attention to Venezuela. The Crown increased taxation and installed a series of military governors in Caracas.4 These became a main point of contention between the Venezuelan merchants and the Spanish government. In contrast, the Captaincy-General of Chile was one of the most isolated areas of Spanish America and had very little conflict with the Crown before 1810.5 It was a geographically compact and socially homogenous region that experienced very few regional, 3.

Simón Bolívar: A Life. (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2006): xiv. This all changed, however, following the defeat of Fernando VII of Spain in 1810 by Napoleon. The members of the Venezuelan elite, who had found the greatest amount of fault in the Spanish government, finally had an opportunity to gain more rights and begin an attempt at self-government. Venezuela began the movement in the Spanish colonies to 6. Ibid., 7, 13. 4 create governmental juntas. Chile followed the rest of Spanish America in establishing a local governmental junta in the absence of Fernando VII.7 Although over the coming years Chilean elites would develop a sense of autonomy and a list of grievances against the Spanish Crown, in 1810 the Captaincy-General was not yet thinking of rebellion.8 Two important leaders who emerged from these preliminary governmental juntas were Simón Bolívar in Venezuela and Bernardo O’Higgins in Chile. Both men were forward thinking for their time and strove to turn their homelands into sovereign, independent, republics. They led both the political and military movements in their countries and eventually achieved independence and ruled the countries they liberated. However, their intentions did not always play out in reality as they had originally planned and both were eventually forced into exile. Bolívar’s failures stemmed from his intense ambition to liberate all of Spanish America, therefore losing control of Colombia to federalists and Venezuela to military caudillos. O’Higgins, on the contrary, was too controlling and caused backlash against his government by the Chilean elite. Eventually though, Chile would return to the orderly constitutions that O’Higgins had in mind while Venezuela continued on its path of military dictatorships. While studying the political views of Bolívar and O’Higgins, as well as their contemporaries, it is important not to impose on them modern-day political standards. Both Bolívar and O’Higgins strove to implement republican governments in their respective countries. For these two men, republican generally meant representative.9 They saw a republic as a governmental structure that would best allow for the expression of the will of 7. Ibid., 16. 8. Lynch, Latin America, 16. 9. Collier, Chilean Independence, 146. 5 the people, a principle that both held as essential to a successful government. Bolívar believed that only through a republic would freedom, equality, and the sovereignty of the people be secure.10 In Chile, republicanism was seen as

    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.

Occasional Papers, New Series 1992– ISSN 0953 6825 © Institute of Latin American Studies University of London, 2001 San Martín: Argentine Patriot, American Liberator 1 José de San Martín, one of the founding fathers of Latin America, comparable in his military and political achievements with Simón Bolívar, and arguably incomparable as a model of disinterested leadership, is known to history as the hombre necesario of the American revolution. There are those, it is true, who question the importance of his career and reject the cult of the hero. For them the meaning of liberation is to be found in the study of economic struc- tures, social classes and the international conjuncture, not in military actions and the lives of liberators. In this view Carlyle’s discourse on heroes is a mu- seum piece and his elevation of heroes as the prime subject of history a misconception.

  • Guía De Materia N°7 El Proceso De Independencia
    III. Chile y América en perspectiva histórica Guía de Materia N°7 El proceso de Independencia El proceso de independencia de las colonias americanas comenzó mucho antes de los sucesos de 1810 y se prolongó todavía durante algunos años hasta consolidarse. Las causas que explican este proceso son de naturalezas distintas. Mientras algunas son de carácter estructural, es decir, transformaron en el largo plazo las formas de relación entre las colonias americanas y España; otras, obedecieron a cambios coyunturales, tales como la crisis de la monarquía española. Estos cambios pueden clasificarse, además, entre causas externas y causas internas. Entre las primeras, está la difusión de las ideas de la Ilustración, la independencia de Estados Unidos y la Revolución francesa. Entre los factores internos está el debilitamiento de la Corona española y el creciente descontento de los criollos americanos con la aplicación de las reformas que impulsaron los reyes borbones. “Proclamación y Jura de la Independencia de Chile” (oleo de Fray Pedro Subercaseaux) Los énfasis que se colocan en las distintas aproximaciones históricas son diferentes; sin embargo, todas coinciden en señalar los siguientes procesos y acontecimientos previos como antecedentes a considerar: La Ilustración, movimiento intelectual europeo que surgió en el siglo XVIII y que cuestionó a la sociedad existente en ese momento. Afirmó la igualdad y libertad como principios básicos de la sociedad. Las ideas ilustradas penetraron en América y sus colonias: mediante sus viajes, las elites criollas tomaron contacto con estas nuevas ideas que de una u otra manera contribuyeron a criticar el dominio español sobre América. La Revolución Francesa (1789 – 1799), que puso fin a la monarquía absoluta en Francia y llevó a la práctica las ideas de la ilustración.

  • Chile -- Britannica Online Encyclopedia
    Chile -- Britannica Online Encyclopedia https://www.britannica.com/print/article/111326 Chile History Precolonial period At the time of the Spanish conquest of Chile in the mid-16th century, at least 500,000 Indians inhabited the region. Nearly all of the scattered tribes were related in race and language, but they lacked any central governmental organization. The groups in northern Chile lived by fishing and by farming in the oases. In the 15th century they fell under the influence of expanding civilizations from Peru, first the Chincha and then the Quechua, who formed part of the extensive Inca empire. Those invaders also tried unsuccessfully to conquer central and southern Chile. The Araucanian Indian groups were dispersed throughout southern Chile. These mobile peoples lived in family clusters and small villages. A few engaged in subsistence agriculture, but most thrived from hunting, gathering, fishing, trading, and warring. The Araucanians resisted the Spanish as they had the Incas, but fighting and disease reduced their numbers by two-thirds during the first century after the Europeans arrived. The Spanish conquest of Chile began in 1536–37, when forces under Diego de Almagro, associate and subsequent rival of Francisco Pizarro, invaded the region as far south as the Maule River in search of an “Otro Peru” (“Another Peru”). Finding neither a high civilization nor gold, the Spaniards decided to return immediately to Peru. The discouraging reports brought back by Almagro’s men forestalled further attempts at conquest until 1540–41, when Pizarro, after the death of Almagro, granted Pedro de Valdivia license to conquer and colonize the area.

  • Film, Photojournalism, and the Public Sphere in Brazil and Argentina, 1955-1980
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: MODERNIZATION AND VISUAL ECONOMY: FILM, PHOTOJOURNALISM, AND THE PUBLIC SPHERE IN BRAZIL AND ARGENTINA, 1955-1980 Paula Halperin, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Directed By: Professor Barbara Weinstein Department of History University of Maryland, College Park My dissertation explores the relationship among visual culture, nationalism, and modernization in Argentina and Brazil in a period of extreme political instability, marked by an alternation of weak civilian governments and dictatorships. I argue that motion pictures and photojournalism were constitutive elements of a modern public sphere that did not conform to the classic formulation advanced by Jürgen Habermas. Rather than treating the public sphere as progressively degraded by the mass media and cultural industries, I trace how, in postwar Argentina and Brazil, the increased production and circulation of mass media images contributed to active public debate and civic participation. With the progressive internationalization of entertainment markets that began in the 1950s in the modern cities of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Buenos Aires there was a dramatic growth in the number of film spectators and production, movie theaters and critics, popular magazines and academic journals that focused on film. Through close analysis of images distributed widely in international media circuits I reconstruct and analyze Brazilian and Argentine postwar visual economies from a transnational perspective to understand the constitution of the public sphere and how modernization, Latin American identity, nationhood, and socio-cultural change and conflict were represented and debated in those media. Cinema and the visual after World War II became a worldwide locus of production and circulation of discourses about history, national identity, and social mores, and a space of contention and discussion of modernization.

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.
