The figures, side by side

Each figure is the same observation, with the same source, as on the two dossiers. Every value shows the year it was observed — vintages differ by indicator and nation. A “—” is an absence in the source data, never a zero. Metric names link to the world ranking; values open the figure on its own dossier.

Entangled histories

2 events in which either nation’s sourced chronicle names the other — including under earlier names of the same state. Each is the same record, with the same sources, as on its own chronicle; nothing here was written for this page.

  1. Jan-Feb 1817

    San Martin crosses the Andes

    San Martin leads the Army of the Andes over the cordillera and defeats royalist forces at Chacabuco, opening the liberation of Chile.

    War & Rupture · from the Argentina chronicle · May Revolution and the Wars of Independence · REFS 2 — Jose de San Martin, Argentina

  2. 23 July 1881

    Boundary treaty with Argentina

    Chile and Argentina fix their common border along the Cordillera of the Andes, running 'along the highest peaks of said Cordillera dividing the waters'; disputes over how to trace the line were settled by British arbitration in 1902.
