The Battle of Maipú was a decisive confrontation in the Chilean War of Independence, pitting South American independence forces against Spanish royalist troops near Santiago.
It saw the victory of the patriots led by José de San Martín, with the support of the Chilean leader Bernardo O'Higgins, against the royalist army commanded by Mariano Osorio. This victory definitively secured Chile's independence and put an end to Spanish attempts to reconquer the region.
