Felipe del Solar

Felipe del Solar is a Chilean researcher and historian known for his in-depth studies on the influence of Freemasonry in Latin American independence movements. His work elucidates the complex interplay between secret societies and the political transformations of the 18th and 19th centuries in the region. Del Solar argues that, while Freemasons played a role in the independence movements, attributing the entire success of these revolutions to Masonry is largely a myth, suggesting that these organizations served more as models for secret societies than as the main driving forces behind independence.
