patriots and Creoles who were not able to escape to Mendoza are exiled to the island of Juan Fernandez.
The Liberation Army, after the Disaster of Rancagua, the patriots who fled to Mendoza began to organize military to return to Chile and fight the royalist forces. This will come in contact with José de San Martín, Argentine military hero. Internal disputes between the Chilean Army (sides of O'Higgin and careerists) force San Martin to decide to rely on a leader, and chooses to O'Higgins. Both (San Martín and O'Higgins) will be responsible for organizing the army.
Meanwhile in Chile: the repressive measures by Osorio installed first, and Marco del Pont, then generated a high and deep rejection of society in general.

The repressive measures installed by the crown and the viceroy of Peru, but were not alarm the population, increasing the degree of rejection of any form of tyrannical government. Moreover, the Reconquista served to convince even more of a loyalty to King Creole that the best form of government was own and not abroad. Taking accounts, the period between 1814 - 1817 only deepened the gap that had developed around 1810 among the Creoles and the crown.
