History-Chile

 Chile History Chile was the second country in South America to become a country. Thousands of years ago, migrating Native Americans settled in Fertile Valleys, and coastal areas of what is present day Chile. These people were called Inkas. Chile was founded by a Spanish Explorer named Ferdinand Magdelan. He sailed for Asia in 1519, and worked his way south along the coast of South America. There's a part of Chile named after him called, "The Strait of Magdelan." They were taken over by the Spanish later on, and had many soldiers die to gain independence. They worked hard to make Chile a country.
