Argentina 1817: San Martin's Crossing of the Andes
Om avsnittet
In 1817, General José de San Martín led an army of 4,000 men over the Andes to liberate Chile from Spanish rule. This episode follows the epic crossing—the mule trains, the high-altitude passes, the Battle of Chacabuco, and the strategic brilliance that made it possible. We explore San Martín's meticulous planning, his use of local guides and false intelligence, and the crucial role of the Army of the Andes. We also touch on the contributions of Bernardo O'Higgins and the impact of this campaign on South American independence. This is a story of logistical genius, sheer endurance, and the forging of a continent.
