/ /ˈtʃile/
A country occupying a long coastal strip down the southern half of the west of South America; population 16,601,700 (est. 2009); official language, Spanish; capital, Santiago.
Most of Chile was part of the Inca empire and became part of Spanish Peru after Pizarro’s conquest. Independence was achieved in 1818 with help from Argentina. After the overthrow of the Marxist democrat Salvador Allende in 1973, Chile was ruled by the right-wing military dictatorship of General Pinochet until a democratically elected President took office in 1990.
