In October 1891, a bar fight in Valparaíso between American sailors and Chilean locals escalated into one of the most dangerous diplomatic crises of the late 19th century. The USS Baltimore affair saw the United States threaten war after two US sailors were killed and several wounded, with President Benjamin Harrison demanding reparations from Chile's new Congressionalist government. This episode unpacks the brawl itself, the volatile context of post-civil war Chile, the bellicose rhetoric from Washington, and the eventual peaceful resolution through diplomacy. We explore the roles of Minister Patrick Egan, President Jorge Montt, and US diplomat John G. Carlisle, while examining how the crisis reflected broader tensions between the US and Latin America in the age of the Monroe Doctrine, the Chilean nitrate boom, and US naval expansion. A forgotten moment when the US warship Baltimore almost triggered a full-scale war over a stabbing in a port city saloon. #USSBaltimore #Chile #1891BaltimoreCrisis #PatrickEgan #JorgeMontt #BenjaminHarrison #Valparaíso #MonroeDoctrine #Nitrate #Congressionalist #Balmaceda #ChileanCivilWar #USChileRelations #JamesGBlaine #JohnGCarlisle #History #FexingoHistory #SouthAmerica Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
