In 1817, the Spanish forces in Chile were defeated by the Chilean independence movement led by General José de San Martín and his troops. The decisive battle occurred at the Battle of Chacabuco, where San Martín's forces successfully overthrew the Spanish colonial government. This victory was a significant step toward Chile's independence, which was officially declared in 1818.
