it's not that bad, let me explain it to you back in the 1500s, there was one big empire in south america before the spanish, the inca empire, the inca were the big civilization of the south america, while in chile there was just a small tribe of barbarians who spaniard called araucanos. these barbarians lived in small tribes, weren't united and we quite savages compared to the inca, they were in wars in the past. so these barbarians were lived in small tribes, so the population was quite low when the spaniard arrived. the spaniard had no interest in this land, no gold, no richness, it was just a cold environment, good forest, food resource but no actual gold or other goods to send back to spain so one guy called pedro de valdivia wanted to conquer this land in the name of the spanish crown, not because he wanted to be richer but because he wanted to created his own country, so he went from peru, to cross the desert and arrived to chile to created the santiago city, the natives were low in popoulation so the spaniard were majority in the country, there were many wars between the araucanos and the spaniard because of the nature of this barbarians, there were many war crimes that i will not mention, but many women were forced to pregnancy, which was the reason why some folks may mixed but chile at the time was majorarity spaniard and white because the native population was by default low because they were just tribes so when the spaniard arrived to the south, the capital native in someway to say was araucania, were the araucanos lived. there was many guerrillas against the spaniards, they were forced to surrender because the spanish crowd didn't care about taking chile, there was no gold or silver and the araucanos were ruthless, they killed and eat pedro de valdivia, they destroyed the cities in the south, and many refugees had to flee to other places. so concepcion to santiago was the only sovereignty that the spanish had
