Hegemony in the Pacific offers an unprecedented review of the tensions between Chile and the United States after the War of the Pacific, when the "Andean Lion" emerged as a military and economic power in the South Pacific. With an agile and documented narrative, Andrés González Valencia demonstrates how U.S. diplomacy, far from being neutral, articulated a strategy to subdue Chile's growing influence in the region.The book reviews key episodes - such as the case of the steamship Itata or the USS Baltimore incident - to argue that U.S. hegemony was not a historical accident, but the result of a deliberate campaign of political, naval and symbolic pressure. More than a history of conflict, this is a critical reading of how power is imposed and how the destiny of emerging nations is redefined.A revealing work that connects archives, testimonies and geopolitics, inviting us to rethink Chile's place in the hemispheric order and to look at history with less complacent eyes.
