Description

A History of Chile traces the nation's political, economic, and social evolution from its independence until the 1994 inauguration of President Eduardo Frei. This book explains how Chile evolved politically from a nation dominated by a small aristocracy into a democracy, and how it created an economy which increasingly relied on its factories rather than solely on its mines. Finally, it describes the development of Chilean culture, which is a unique fusion of European and Latin American sources.
