Félix Weil, born in 1898 in Buenos Aires to a wealthy Jewish family, emigrated to Germany where he completed his education and became interested in socialism and Karl Marx's ideas. He funded the Frankfurt School, which was established between 1923 and 1924 to analyze society using theories from Hegel, Marx, and Freud. The school was closed in 1933 due to Nazi persecution but later moved to Geneva and New York. Weil emigrated to the US and studied the prevailing anti-Semitism. The Frankfurt School celebrates a century of history with academic and cultural activities planned. Argentine economist and historian Mario Rapoport published a book on Weil and plans to produce a documentary about his life.

Félix Weil, an Argentine entrepreneur and intellectual of German origin, played a crucial role in the creation of the Frankfurt School, internationally recognized for its contributions to social theory and critical philosophy. In 1923, Weil, along with intellectuals like Georg Lukács and Karl Korsch, founded the Institute for Social Research at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, which led to the Frankfurt School. Weil's financial support, derived from his mother's inheritance, was instrumental in the establishment of the institute. Despite initially embracing Marxist ideas, Weil gradually shifted towards more developmental theories. The rise of Nazism forced the institute to close in 1933, and its members, including Weil, went into exile. The school relocated to Geneva and later to Columbia University in New York, where it studied Nazism and authoritarianism. Weil, who felt more Argentine than German, advocated for industrialization and equitable income distribution in Argentina. After World War II, while some members returned to Germany, Weil settled in California and worked as an officer at military bases. Argentine historian and economist Mario Rapoport, who published 'Bolchevique de salón' based on Weil's life, highlights Weil's social sensitivity and contributions to intellectual development. Weil died of a heart attack in 1975, and his most notable work, 'El Enigma Argentino,' was published in Spanish in Latin America for the first time in 2010.

There are several applications and platforms designed to help dog owners find partners for their pets. These apps facilitate connections between dog owners for socializing and, in some cases, breeding. Wamiz has compiled a list of apps for this purpose, including Twindog, which operates similarly to Tinder for both dogs and their owners; BarkHappy, which also helps discover local events and services for dogs; and Dog Dater, which allows tracking of a dog's family history and finding siblings. Additionally, Datemypet is an American online platform that helps pet owners find love, but can also be used to find partners for dogs or cats.

On August 6, 1915, Wilhelm Canaris, who would later be involved in Operation Valkyrie and executed for conspiring against Adolf Hitler, escaped from Quiriquina Island in south-central Chile. Canaris was a young second commander on the German ship S.M.S. Dresden during World War I. After the Dresden was strategically sunk by the Germans in Chile's Cumberland Bay, the crew was interned on Quiriquina Island. German historian Matthias Strauß and Chilean naval historian Germán Bravo Valdivieso discuss the diplomatic tensions between Chile, Germany, and England at the time, and the questioning of Chile's neutrality. Canaris's escape involved a prearranged boat and a horseback journey to Argentina using a false Chilean passport. His knowledge of Spanish and English and his time in Chile later helped him establish a spy system in Latin America as the head of the Abwehr. The article also notes that Canaris's escape was not unique; over 80 German sailors, including seven officers, escaped during the four years of internment.

In the winter of 1919, the crew of the sunken German ship S.M.S. Dresden returned to their homeland after World War I ended. They left behind numerous stories and legacies in Chile, where some even chose to stay. The Dresden crew became well-known among the inhabitants of Quiriquina Island, establishing connections with both the German and Chilean communities. Notable activities included concerts and the publication of an internal newspaper, Quiriquina Zeitung. Historian Armando Cartes Montory highlights the recent reissue of the newspaper in Concepción to commemorate the centenary of the Dresden's sinking. Melitha Krause Schwartinsky, daughter of crew member Max Otto Krause Busch, spent five years researching her father's history, resulting in a book. Hermann Schüssler, another crew member, also settled in Chile, marrying and maintaining lifelong connections with fellow Dresden survivors. The article reflects on the enduring impact of the Dresden's crew on Chilean society and their descendants.

The longstanding tension between Bolivia and Chile, originating from the War of the Pacific and Bolivia's loss of sovereign access to the Pacific Ocean, persists as Bolivia brings a legal claim against Chile at the International Court of Justice. Both nations have expressed their stances, with Chile adhering to the 1904 Treaty defining borders, while Bolivia cites subsequent discussions suggesting Chile might grant sea access. Communication strategies play a key role in this dispute, with Bolivian President Evo Morales leveraging his indigenous and popular background to garner international sympathy. Chilean political scientist Guillermo Holzmann identifies Bolivia's focused communication efforts, whereas Bolivian International Law analyst Óscar Alba views the maritime claim as a legitimate state policy. Chile's position is seen as increasingly isolated and defensive, particularly regarding the War of the Pacific and the 1904 Treaty.
