The advent of the <a href="/wiki/1891_Chilean_Civil_War" class="mw-redirect" title="1891 Chilean Civil War">1891 Chilean Civil War</a> had a breach between the two branches of the Chilean armed forces, while the bulk of navy sided with the congress side, the majority of the <a href="/wiki/Chilean_Army" title="Chilean Army">Chilean Army</a> remained loyal to <a href="/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Manuel_Balmaceda" title="José Manuel Balmaceda">José Manuel Balmaceda</a>.

Tarapacá was, by that time, Chile's richest region in terms of natural resources and was without the fleet practically out of reach for the Chilean Army. From here, the navy organized an army made of nitrate miners, whom they armed and trained to face the 40,000-men-strong Army of Chile. In August 1891, the new army was disembarked in <a href="/wiki/Quintero" title="Quintero">Quintero</a> and defeated the Chilean Army at the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Conc%C3%B3n" title="Battle of Concón">Battle of Concón</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Placilla" title="Battle of Placilla">Battle of Placilla</a> before the presidential faction disbanded and the Congressional side took power.

After the war these officers were removed from their offices. In contrast to these officers whose career or influence in the navy was truncated by the war, the 1891 Chilean Civil War served as a starting point of a successful career in the navy for a generation of young officers like <a href="/wiki/Francisco_Nef" title="Francisco Nef">Francisco Nef</a> and others who sided with the Congressionals who won the war. </p><p>After incidents with Chile in 1872, 1877, and 1878, Argentina had decided that a brown-water navy, even if modern, was not enough to back up its ambitions in Patagonia and the South Atlantic.
