Magallanes vs. rest of Chile, Census Trends, 1907-1920
British Nationals
British Nationals
In 1907, Magallanes had the highest
proportion of British nationals of any region in Chile. This difference
was intensified after World War I. In Magallanes, sheep-ranching remained
buoyant, whereas in the northermost provinces the salitre industry was in
steep decline. Furthermore, many British males had left the country to join
the war effort.
