O'Higgins, Bernardo, 1778-1842

Bernardo O'Higgins, 1778-1842, was born in Chile of Chilean and Irish descent. O'Higgins, educated in England in military navigation, eventually became a leading Chilean patriot, known by the popular titles "The Father of the Nation," "Founder of the Republic," and "Liberator of Chile" throughout his life and in posterity, as well as by the official title of Supreme Director of Chile (designating him as the country's dictator) from 1817-1823. Among his achievements are the creation of the First Squadron of Chile and the formation of the armed forces of that nation. O'Higgins is also known for creating the governmental institutions necessary to a republic which eventually facilitated the liberation of South American countries. He is credited with the creation of the Military School in Chile as well as the army and the naval school. He was also integral to the reorganization of the port of Valparaíso and the customs service in the interest of controlling the flow of contraband into the country. However, he is best known for his promulgation of Chilean nationalism and his proclamation of Chilean independence from Spain and for procuring the recognition of Chile as a sovereign nation from various countries.
