The name "Chile" may be derived from the Incas of Peru that failed to
conquer the valley of
Aconcagua. It borders the Pacific Ocean, Bolivia, Argentina, and the Drake
Passage. For thousands of years before the Spanish arrived in 16th century,
Chile was ruled by the Incas. Migration in Chile occured about 10,000 years ago
into what became the Inca Empire. Spanish conquistadors began exploring Peru in
the fifteen hundreds seeking for gold. Pedro de Valdvia initiated the conquest
of Chile but never discovered the quantity of precious metals they had hoped
for. Instead, Chile became the Viceroyalty of Peru due to its agricultural
potential. During this time, major insurrections occurred among the
Mapuche tribes. Chile won it's independance from the Spanish throne 1818. Chile
began to enjoy greater freedom of speech and a free market economy
under Pinochet's 17 year reign.
