Summary
Valparaíso emerged as a pivotal port city in the South Pacific during the first half of the 19th century, shaped by its strategic location and political-economic significance. This study reveals how Valparaíso transitioned from an inland valley-influenced space into a global hub connecting the South Pacific and Atlantic worlds, aligning with the republican trajectories of O'Higgins and San Martín. The research employs a geo-historical approach to trace this transformation, analyzing spatial stratification and connectivity shifts. Findings underscore Valparaíso's role as a key node in the republic's destiny, offering insights into its urban evolution and transpacific interactions.
