The Spanish invasion of Chile and the majority of Latin America changed its history. The Spanish rule exploited the country during the mercantilist era. Independence came in 1844 and with it, economic and political stability.

Chile started to sell copper and nitrate, and copper is still the foundation of the Chilean economy. The beginning of the 20th century came with the economic crisis for Chile, the demand for mineral nitrates fell. The Great Depression did not help the country either.

Chilean economy got better with WWII with a higher demand for copper. The 70s were a difficult period for Chile, Pinochet was a brutal dictator, he widespread repression, torture and murder, it was only in the early 80s that democracy returned to the country, with it came free market system, many state-owned firms were sold, privatizations continued.

Today, with political stability, Chile is one of the fourty most developed countries in the world, with a robust economy.

The point in which President Wilson Woodrow would ask Congress to declare war on Germany would have been after they tried to get Mexico to fight against the United States.

<h3>What is the World War I?</h3>

This refers to the international conflict that existed between different nations from 1914-1918 when Austrian Archd..uke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated.

Hence, we can see that the United States wanted to stay neutral but was continuously provoked by Germany, and then when the Germans tried to recruit Mexico to fight against America, Woodrow Wilson declared war through Congress.
