This work covering the period 1795 to 1948 has four main features. It
firstly examines the role of international and domestic factors in
determining regional interaction and cooperation between South Africa
and Chile. Secondly, it documents the whims of the international
community, and more particularly the world powers which was a
motivating factor in Chilean and South African politics, economy, society
and their bilateral relations. Thirdly it covers the period when Britain rose
to world power status. Eventually, this gave way to her displacement by
Germany and then ultimately the United States. This study's fourth feature
is that it marks the first documented account of direct contact between the
inhabitants at the Cape of Good Hope and Latin America. The period ends
with a cornerstone in the history of South African-Chilean bilateral relations
when direct diplomatic and consular relations were established by both
South Africa and Chile in May 1948. / M.A. (History)
