In "Algo habrán hecho por la historia de Chile capítulo 5", Manuel Rojas recounts the history of Chile and the conflict between the liberals and the conservatives. The conservatives accuse the liberals of fraud in the recent presidential election, and they are preparing for a civil war. This video tells the story of the Chilean Civil War, starting with the early days of the conflict and moving on to the Battle of Ochagavia, which was the decisive battle of the war. The video also discusses the role of General Ramón Freire, who joined the liberals in order to save his country.

• 00:00:00 This video discusses Chile's history and the role played by General Bernardo O'Higgins in the country's independence. After several battles between patriots and Spanish troops, Chile achieves independence with O'Higgins as its first leader. O'Higgins exercises autocratic power until rebellious troops from the south force him to step down. O'Higgins' sister, Freire, also participates in many battles, particularly the Battle of Maipú. O'Higgins is not an aristocrat from Santiago, but he is a member of the famous Logia Lautarina, and both he and Freire are members of the Liberal Party. As a result, when O'Higgins is replaced by General Ramón Freire, many people are surprised. Freire, however, is not a dictator and he pledges to leave office once a new Congress is formed. He follows through on this promise, but only after he is appointed Director Supremo.

The government of England was generous to Chile's independence, and in return, Chile had to pay back a large sum of money. One of the main ways this debt was paid was by financing the liberation of Peru. This was a very important commitment for the government, and it was important to keep it in order to prevent any sort of smuggling or corruption. Later in the video, Diego José Benavente, the Minister of Finance, grants a controversial concession to a company called Portals, which is the only company to apply. Benavente is a good friend of Diego José Benavente, and the two are often seen together. Valerie is not interested in politics. She just has her own opinion.

In 1828, they are defeated in the battle of Villanos, and in 1829 they are finally defeated in the battle of Los Andes. In 1833, Chile becomes an independent country. However, the problems with the economy and the English resentment of Chile continue. In 1835, the government falls and a military dictatorship is established. This dictatorship is short-lived, but it is followed by a period of political instability. In 1839, Chile elects its first democratic president, Francisco de la Concha. The economy improves and relations with England improve under his administration. In 1842, Chile and Peru sign the Treaty of Ancón, which ends the War of the Pacific. In 1846, Chile signs the Treaty of Lima, which ends the War of the Andes. Finally, in 1851, Chile signs the Treaty of Santiago, which ends the War of the Pacific.

Freire later offers his men up as a human shield in order to allow others to retreat. However, conservative forces surround and capture him and his men. This victory helps end the civil war. Freire is later dismissed from his post as Vice President, and Minister of the Interior and Relaciones Exteriores, because of his political views.

He remains distant from the government, but his friend Antonio Garcías writes about his invitation to rejoin the government in December 1831.

However, he is only allowed to return home nine years before his death.
