Argentine General [[José de San Martín]] crossed the Andes with Chilean independence hero [[Bernardo O'Higgins]] and together they defeated the Spaniards. However, after independence, relations soured. This was primarily due to a border dispute: both nations claimed the totality of the [[Patagonia]] region.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Perry|first=Richard O.|date=1980-01-01|title=Argentina and Chile: The Struggle for Patagonia 1843–1881|jstor=981291|journal=The Americas|volume=36|issue=3|pages=347–363|doi=10.2307/981291|s2cid=147607097 }}</ref> Attempts to clear up the dispute were unsuccessful until 1881, when Chile was at war with both Bolivia and Peru. In order to avoid fighting Argentina as well, Chilean President [[Aníbal Pinto]] authorized his envoy, [[Diego Barros Arana]] to hand over as much territory as was needed to avoid Argentina siding with Bolivia and Peru. Barros succeeded in his mission: Argentina was granted east Patagonia and Chile the Strait of Magellan.<ref name=":0" /> However, border disputes continued. In 1902, war was again avoided when British King [[Edward VII]] agreed to mediate between the two nations. He established the current border in the Patagonia region.<ref name=":0" /> The [[Beagle conflict]] began to brew in the 1960s, when Argentina began to claim that the [[Beagle Channel cartography since 1881|Picton, Lennox and Nueva]] islands in the [[Beagle Channel]] were rightfully hers. In 1971 Chile and Argentina signed an agreement formally submitting the Beagle Channel issue to binding [[Beagle Channel Arbitration]]. On May 2, 1977, the court ruled that the islands and all adjacent formations belonged to Chile. See the [http://legal.un.org/riaa/cases/vol_XXI/53-264.pdf Report and decision of the Court of Arbitration]. On 25 January 1978, the Argentina military junta led by General [[Jorge Videla]] declared the award fundamentally null and intensified their claim over the islands. On 22. December 1978, Argentina started<ref>See Argentine newspaper [http://www.clarin.com/suplementos/zona/1998/12/20/i-00401e.htm Clarín] of Buenos Aires, 20 December 1998</ref> the [[Operation Soberanía]] over the disputed islands, but the invasion was halted due to:<ref>See Alejandro Luis Corbacho ''"Predicting the probability of war during brinkmanship crisis: The Beagle and the Malvinas conflicts"'' https://ssrn.com/abstract=1016843 (p.45)</ref> : ''The newspaper Clarín explained some years later that such caution was based, in part, on military concerns. In order to achieve a victory, certain objectives had to be reached before the seventh day after the attack. Some military leaders considered this not enough time due to the difficulty involved in transportation through the passes over the Andean Mountains.'' and in cite 46: : ''According to Clarín, two consequences were feared. First, those who were dubious feared a possible regionalization of the conflict. Second, as a consequence, the conflict could acquire great power proportions. In the first case decisionmakers speculated that Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Brazil might intervene. Then the great powers could take sides. In this case, the resolution of the conflict would depend not on the combatants, but on the countries that supplied the weapons.'' In December that year, moments before Videla signed a declaration of war against Chile, [[Pope John Paul II]] agreed to mediate between the two nations. The Pope's envoy, [[Antonio Samorè]], successfully averted war and proposed a new definitive boundary in which the three disputed islands would remain Chilean. Chile immediately accepted this decision, but Argentina still disliked and avoided acceptance until after the lost [[Falklands War]] in 1982. Both agreed to Samoré's proposal and signed the [[Treaty of Peace and Friendship of 1984 between Chile and Argentina]], ending that dispute.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.un.org/depts/los/LEGISLATIONANDTREATIES/PDFFILES/TREATIES/CHL-ARG1984PF.PDF |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221009/https://www.un.org/depts/los/LEGISLATIONANDTREATIES/PDFFILES/TREATIES/CHL-ARG1984PF.PDF |archive-date=2022-10-09 |url-status=live|title=Treaty of Peace and Friendship between Chile and Argentina (with annexes and maps),29 November 1984|access-date=17 January 2017}}</ref> In the 1990s, under presidents [[Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle|Frei]] and [[Carlos Menem|Menem]] both countries solved almost all of the remaining border disputes during bilateral talks.

The Spaniards never bothered to definitively establish a border between Chile and Bolivia. Chile claimed its limit with Peru ran through the Loa River and that Bolivia was therefore landlocked, while Bolivia claimed it did have a coast and that the limit with Chile ran along the Salado River. The border remained vague throughout the 19th century. Finally, Bolivia and Chile agreed, in 1866, to allow Bolivia access to the Pacific and that the limit of the two countries would run along the 24th parallel. The area between the 25th and 23rd parallel would remain demilitarized and both nations would be allowed to mine there.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Boundary_Treaty_between_Bolivia_and_Chile_of_1866|title=Boundary Treaty between Bolivia and Chile of 1866|via=Wikisource}}</ref> It was also agreed that taxes on the exportation of [[Potassium nitrate|saltpeter]] would not increase.{{citation needed|date=February 2014}} However, in 1879, Bolivian dictator General [[Hilarión Daza]] increased the taxes on the exportation of saltpeter, violating the 1866 treaty. When Chilean-owned saltpeter companies protested, Daza expropriated their companies and sold them in a [[public auction]]. Daza then put an end to all commerce with Chile and exiled all Chilean residents in Bolivia (the Bolivian port of [[Antofagasta]] had more Chileans than Bolivians). In response, Chile declared war on Bolivia and occupied Bolivia's coast. Peru had, in 1873, signed a secret pact with Bolivia in which the two countries agreed to fight together against any nation that threatened either of them. When Peru refused to be neutral in the conflict between Chile and Bolivia, Chile declared war on Peru. Chile defeated both countries and annexed the coast claimed by Bolivia. This was ratified in a 1904 treaty.<ref>{{Cite journal|date=1905-01-01|title=Chile|url=http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/cgi-bin/FRUS/FRUS-idx?type=div&did=FRUS.FRUS1905.i0011&isize=text|journal=Foreign Relations of the United States}}</ref> Diplomatic relations with Bolivia continued to be strained because of Bolivia's continuing aspiration to the sea. In 1964, Bolivian President [[Víctor Paz Estenssoro]] severed diplomatic relations with Chile. Generals [[Augusto Pinochet]] and [[Hugo Banzer]] resumed diplomatic relations and attempted to settle territorial disputes. The secret negotiations started in 1973 and in 1975 diplomatic relations between Chile and Bolivia were established. That year, both dictators met in the Bolivian border town of Charaña. Pinochet agreed to give Bolivia a small strip of land running between the Chilean city of [[Arica]] and the [[Peru]]vian border. However the Treaty of Lima between Peru and Chile specified that Chile must consult Peru before granting any land to a third party in the area of [[Tarapacá Region|Tarapacá]]. Peruvian dictator General [[Francisco Morales Bermúdez]] did not agree with the Charaña proposal and instead drafted his own proposal, in which the three nations would share administration of the port of Arica and the sea immediately in front of it. Pinochet refused this agreement, and Banzer broke ties with Chile again in 1978. The failure of the Charaña accords was one of the reasons of Banzer's downfall that very year.{{citation needed|date=February 2014}} Chile and Bolivia maintain consular relations, and appear to have become friendlier. Former Chilean President [[Ricardo Lagos]] attended the inauguration of current Bolivian President [[Evo Morales]]. Morales has repeatedly announced his intention to establish diplomatic relations with Chile once more, but has still not given up Bolivia's claim to the sea.{{citation needed|date=February 2014}} * Bolivia has consulates-general in Santiago, [[Antofagasta]], [[Arica]], [[Calama, Chile|Calama]] and [[Iquique]]. * Chile has consulates-general in [[La Paz]] and [[Santa Cruz de la Sierra]]. |- valign="top" |{{flag|Brazil}}||<!--Date started-->22 April 1836||See [[Brazil–Chile relations]] [[File:Dilma Bachelet 2011.jpg|thumb|Michelle Bachelet and [[Dilma Rousseff]], 15 December 2011]] Chile and Brazil have acted numerous times as mediators in international conflicts, such as in the [[Veracruz Incident|1914 diplomatic impasse]] between the United States and Mexico, avoiding a possible [[war|state of war]] between those two countries.
