Saqueo y exterminio de la clase campesina chilena

"En sentido estricto, 'el Pacifico' no existio como tal hasta que en 1520-21 Fernao de Magalhais, mas conocido como Magallanes, atraveso la enorme extension de aguas que entonces recibieron su nombre." Con estas palabras, el historiador y geografo de origen britanico Oskar Spate presenta su version del proceso en el que ese inmenso vacio se transforma en centro de las relaciones globales. EL LAGO ESPANOL describe el exito esencialmente europeo y americano en convertir ese espacio en el nexo del poder economico y militar.
