Abstract

The history of Chile is strongly related to mining. The reason behind the discovery of Chile by Diego de Almagro in 1536, and its later colonization and incorporation into the Spanish Empire by Pedro de Valdivia in 1541, was the interest in finding new sources of mineral wealth (especially gold) in the territories outside the already productive Viceroyalty of Peru.
