Why?
>>200185955Should unirionically be one country with Argentina
>>200186012>Argenchila
Andes. I know absolutely nothing about chile argentina history and even I know that’s the obvious answer
>big ass mountain range>many major rivers and a huge coastlineThey got it good
>>200186059Ridiculous that our coastline is longer than theirs (7,314km) despite them being nothing but coastline (6,435km).
>>200186126i'm guessing most of that is greenland
>>200186218Shut up bitch before I pulverize you
>>200185955Because it almost touches Antarctica
>>200186545a jew threatening to make dust out of someone is ironic
Same reason why D*nmark exists and is not divided between Germany and Sweden
>>200186750Indonesia needs to annex your stupid little island
>>200186762>Ch*nk defending his white massas out of a need to fit in Ok bucko
>>200186012they unironically hate us
>>200186793
>>200185955shit happens breh
>>200186795Don't they hate everyone? Including other Argentinians?
>>200185955Julio Argentino Roca
Chile is like an island, a large mountain range separates us from Argentina and a huge desert separates us from Peru. The first wave of Spanish conquistadors that arrived from the north barely managed to cross the desert
>>200185955Also why?
>>200186959tfw no qt chilean polola
>>200187004It's the gambia
>>200185955why not?
>>200186959>a huge desert separates us from Peru.Sorry for party rocking
>>200187165They got here because there wasn't much resistance but they never made any settlement of importance because it was too expensive to move across
>>200185955vgh... south american prussia
>>200186126Greenland alone is almost exactly trice our size, it's not a fair comparisonNo matter how long we are we are never going to have more coast than an island surrounded by coast everywhere
>>200187216>there wasn't much resistanceWhat about that huge desert you were just talking about?>never made any settlement of importanceIf that's what you say.
>>200187216Your capital was literally the southernmost Inca town
>>200187334thou you're right that the settlements in the southern Inca territory were fucking small (save some selected sites) due to low population
>>200187334No? There was a small settlement of about 100 picunches that the incas claimed as their domain but that's it>>200187325I mean people resisting, they did try put up a fight but they were uneducated savages so they got wiped out pretty easily against an organized army
>>200187377>I mean people resistingFirst you're acting like the terrain makes you somehow impregnable then when proven wrong you switch to another talking point. >small settlement This is what you call nearly half of modern day Chile, a large part of one of the 4 quadrants of the Inca Empire (Qullasuyu)
>>200187165Yes, I know the Inca road, the Incas even made contact with the Mapuches, I was just trying to explain the shape of the country in a simple way, i don't feel like going full history nerd rn explaining colonization
>>200187489The fuck are you talking about?Moving an army and moving settlers are two completely separated things, they managed to reach down to the maule river with their army but they never settled like they did above the desert, because it was expensive and the terrain was worthless
>>200187564>The fuck are you talking about?Refuting your bullshit point that "Chile is like an Island" >>200186959. A lesser technologically advanced empire like the Incas managed to make its way deep into Chile and the Spanish went further beyond. Cope more
>>200187708I'm not that guy, my first post is >>200187216And it's still completely correct while you're still crying nonsense
>>200187737>it's still completely correct
>@faggot
>>200187708I don't get why it's so hard to you to get the point that all this piece of land was absolute garbage until the 1800's
>>200187813I don't get why it's so hard for you to understand that my initial post was about the terrain of Chile not being this supposed impenetrable force. You've done about everything you can to try to switch the goalposts, desperately I might add.
>>200187952What do you think being "like an island" means?Do you also think Great Britain was completely impenetrable to mainland Europeans?
>>200188070Cope more
>>200187952I didn't say it was impenetrable, I just compared it to an island since that explains the shape of the country and its natural borders. Are islands impenetrable? No, one can also reach an island just as one can also cross the mountain range as the Argentine army of San Martin did in 1818 also the incas and spanish did cross the desert but all that takes a lot of effort
>>200187377The settlement probably wasn't much until that time Wayna Qhapaq is reported to have visited it and made erect some buildings of note (his father was the one who came first, later Wayna Qhapaq even sent some to fight in his wars in Ecuador, I recall in an instance they won a battle along with Chumbivilcans). Anyway, the locals certainly seem to have thought that it was more "Incaic":>and (Valdivia) wanting to establish a fort and begin a city there (in La Chimba), judging the site appropriate, the cacique Loncomilla, which means head of gold, lord of the Maipo valley, came to make peace, and told them not to settle in La Chimba, that there was another better site on the other side of the river, to the south, where the Incas had made a settlement, which is the place where the city of Santiago stands today
