Today, FEB 12th 1818 Chile officially issued its Declaration of Independence to Spain. But Chile celebrates its first date that they declared their Independence which is Sept 18th 1810. The Feb 12th date is the official because it is when San Martin defeats the last large Spanish force in the battle of Maipu, and immediately starts to form their Government. These are one of historically treasured dates in time but we want to recognize it because its important for all Lateeno people since we gained Independence around similar times. Their are always big challenges after our Lateeno countries have gained Independence but to remember the day that we started living under free Government, that we can never forget just as we celebrate the United States of Americas free Government on July 4th 1776 from Great Britain. Chile we will recognize both dates of your Independence, because history does. Gente, show love to our Chileano brothers and sisters, con mucho amor, God bless.
