1. General History

  • Chile- Country Study Introductory series of (sometimes very concise) articles, from a wide range of (some of it Chilean) sources. US Library of Congress. Good place to start for an overview in English. Links to key sections:
 
Chronology of Important Events
Country Profile
Historical Setting
The Economy
Government and Politics
National Security 
The Evolution Of The Armed Forces
  • Chile: General History by Donald J. Mabry. A more detailed description from Historical Text Archive
  • World Statesmen: Chile Useful reference lists of presidents, flags, governments of Chile
  • BBC News timeline
  • Pepe's Chile: History of flag, anthem, seal. Instructive, well laid out.
  • Icarito A Chilean educational site. These are the links to history sites for schools. Good subdivisions to individuals and events less well known outside Chile. Worthwhile drilling down into the main part of the site for detailed past election results and graphics. In Spanish, but simpler Spanish for schools makes for clearer Google translations....
