Chile is a country sharing a long coast with the Pacific Ocean, its maritime history being considered with its independence, but its origins date back to the colonial era, and eventually spread to the Iberian Peninsula, Europe, and the Mediterranean, as well as indigenous peoples. During the later stages of Chile's independence war, it was conceived that the country needed a navy to bring under Chilean control areas that could not be reached by land like Valdivia.
