The invasion of Chiquitos was a military expedition carried out by Brazilian forces from the Mato Grosso province of the Empire of Brazil against the Republic of Bolívar. It is said to be a display of force for Simón Bolívar not to support the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata (present-day Argentina) in the ongoing Cisplatine War, although the province acted independently from the central government in Rio de Janeiro without its knowledge or consent.
