Who claimed the regions of Araucania and eastern Patagonia while also being accused of being a self-proclaimed king?
Kingdom of Araucanía and Patagonia The Kingdom of Araucanía and Patagonia (Spanish: "Reino de la Araucanía y de la Patagonia" ; French: "Royaume d'Araucanie et de Patagonie" , sometimes referred to as "New France") was a proposed state and kingdom conceived in the 19th century by a French lawyer and adventurer named Orélie-Antoine de Tounens. Orélie-Antoine de Tounens claimed the regions of Araucanía and eastern Patagonia. It was an unrecognized state that enjoyed only marginal sovereignty in a brief period of time, through alliances with some Mapuche lonkos, in a reduced area of Araucanía, in current Chile.
El Dorado El Dorado (] , ; Spanish for "the golden one"), originally "El Hombre Dorado" (the golden man), or "El Rey Dorado" (the golden king), was the term used by the Spanish Empire to describe a mythical tribal chief ("zipa") of the Muisca native people of Colombia, who, as an initiation rite, covered himself with gold dust and submerged in Lake Guatavita. The legends surrounding El Dorado changed over time, as it went from being a man, to a city, to a kingdom, and then finally an empire.
