Front: Manual Rodriguez Erdoyza (1785-1818), a patriot of Chilean independence

Chile and a number of other Spanish colonies in South American, seizing upon the turmoil brought by Napoleon's conquest of Spain in 1808, declared independent in 1810. Spain defeated Chilean forces lead by Bernardo O'Higgins at the Battle of Rancagua in 1814. Chile once again became a Spanish colony. Rodriguez continued with the struggle for independence by waging a guerilla war. He was captured and murdered in 1818.
