IMHO this is a well Dj’d window into the formal history. Those stumbling on Youtube videos of the Chilean armed forces on parade and who become interested in the military history of South America, at least in this comparative kind that looks at the enduring practices in terms of styles and traditions, might start here. I like this synthesis.
Thanks for those kind words. Most Americans don’t know enough 19th century history (or any history that’s not American) to process something like a Chilean army parade coherently. But, that’s correctable if one is interested enough.
wow beautiful web, good summary and explanation, greetings from Chile
Nice page you have made and a very concise and fast way to introduce the Prussian Chilean Army to the public.
There were two details that don’t belong in a nice page as the one you have created.
1- The origins of the Guerra del Pacifico are very well know and detailed, stating the opposite just denigrates the good job you have made.
2- “Bolivia still has a NAVY” This statement makes people think that Bolivia has a NAVY during the Guerra del Pacifico (Pacific War) and it didn’t. It was created in 1963 with four U.S donated boats for use in rivers and lakes. I would not call this a Navy or Armada unless it was part of a joke.
I hope you take my constructive criticism as such, I really like your work, I just wanted to let you know there is space for improvement.
German influence or not, its still a very impressive military display – Chileans should be proud.
That picture you laugh about is a reserves officer company, nothing to do with regular soldiers or officers…
I am currently writing a paper regarding the Prussian influence on the Chilean Army. I was wondering if you had the sources you used for this article, and if so, if you could share them. Many thanks.
