Summary
Chile has always been a receptive country in matters of immigration. Indeed, in 1824, the objective of migration policies was to populate the territory and boost economic development. Thus, during the nineteenth and part of the twentieth century, Germans, Croatians, English, French, Italians, and Spaniards (the latter from the sixteenth century to the present) arrived in southern Chile. Asian emigrations of a smaller size (Arabic, Jewish, Armenian, Korean, Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese, Pakistani) also arrived.
