As part of its rise as a regional South American power, Chile chose
to emulate the highly successful Prussian military system in the
last decades of the 19th century. Prior conflicts and the prospect
of war with Argentina, which came to a head in the early 1890s, can
be seen as the pretext for Chile's purchase of "Prussian" military
equipment, including Mauser rifles and Krupp cannons. This book
summarizes important regional events, while also offering a general
historical overview of Mauser developments. It will then proceed to
expose the particulars of Chile's Mausers, purchases that resulted
in the Model 1895, 1912, and 1935. Also detailed are the technical
specifics of each of these three models and the historical events
surrounding their acquisition. The result is the first
comprehensive attempt at documenting these important artifacts and
events, which will, it is hoped, initiate further research into
this fascinating topic.
