This dissertation presents the study of the role that magnetic anisotropies play in the phase diagram of chiral magnets using small-angle neutron scattering and ac-susceptibiliy. The effects of magnetocrystalline anisotropies are elucidated by investigating the transition from the helical phase to the conical phase in MnSi. A bespoke uniaxial pressure cell was employed to study the role of uniaxial anisotropies in the stabilization of magnetic Skyrmions. Finally, the first observation of a skyrmion phase stabilized by cubic magnetocrystalline anisotropies is discussed.
