The chief development in Chilean foreign relations during this period of Conservative dominance was a series of conflicts with neighbouring countries—first with Bolivia and Peru in 1836, and then with Argentina, beginning in 1843.
Chilean interests subsequently began the exploitation of the immensely valuable nitrate deposits in the Atacama Desert.
The state of emergency was finally lifted in August 1988, and in October Chileans were permitted to hold a plebiscite on whether Pinochet’s term, due to expire in March 1989, should be extended to 1997.
