The Battle of Santiago was a series of fights around the chilean capital of Santiago, during the South Pacific War.

Prelude[]

On February 12, the Santiagan Armed Forces initiated an invasion in the south of Chile, while, in parallel, a great number of uprisings organized by opposed groups to the dictatorship started taking place in the center - south of the country, taking by surprise to the Chilean troops. In matter of days, the rebel units gained the control of several localities, which forced to the Chilean Army to withdraw, specially to defend the capital, Santiago.
