Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Occupation of Araucanía (1861 1883) was a series of military campaigns, agreements and penetrations by the Chilean army and settlers which led to the incorporation of Araucanía into Chilean national territory. "The Pacification of Araucanía" was the expression used by the Chilean authorities for this process. The indigenous inhabitants of Araucanía, the Mapuche, had resisted for more than three hundred years Spanish attempts at conquest known as the Arauco War. They had also previously defeated the Incas. Whilst their frontier with the Inca empire had been along the Maule River, the Spaniards succeeded in establishing it at the Bío-Bío River. When the Arauco War faded in the 18th and 19th centuries, commercial relations began to grow and cultural and ethnic mixing increased in the frontier territories. Ambrose O'Higgins and other Chilean authorities made agreements with several Mapuche chiefs to end the hostilities on both sides. Inparliaments held in late 18th century several Mapuche leaders accepted the Spanish king as the de jure ruler of Araucanía but had their de facto autonomy recognised by the Spanish authorities.
