SUMMARY:

Tierra de Guerra (land of war) was a common definition used in the Hispanic texts about colonial Chile. It commonly described, as we shall see, a wide space of warlike, where the war functioned as a constant mechanism of making territories. In that scene, war modeled an idiosyncratic form of relationship between Spaniard conquerors and settlements and the indigenous people who inhabited the current Chilean territory. The promaucaes, as the Incas called them, also known as Araucanians or Mapuche in later times, would stand out by their resistance. Influenced by conflicts and other forms of interaction, the World of Spaniards and Mapuches coexisted either against each other or aligned, into the temporal borders of our research, which goes from the mid-16th to mid-17th. In that way, we questioned the meaning of the Tierra de Guerra: what is this about? How was it thought? What kind of political and spatial relations did it produce? Understanding the Hispanic-Mapuche colonial conflicts is a fundamental part to draft answers to these doubts. We started with the origins of the conflict: the Conquests of America. It was the Iberic preconceptions of expansionism, religion, law, war, and otherness that permitted some hidalgos to get so long as Pedro de Valdivia in the Nueva Extremadura. From that, we begin to question the understanding of the general factors that led to the conquest, occupation, and Hispanic formation of a new territory, the most southward on the scattered empery of Spain: The Kingdom of Chile. Afflicted by decades of constant wars and rebellions against an indigenous population that resisted submission, the Spaniards, settled from Copiapó to Chiloé, living in isolated fortresses and sieged cities, needed to deal with monumental native uprisings between 1598-1604. The fall and abandonment of the seven cities and fortress in the south of Biobío River was a disruptive milestone to the Spanish failure at the conquest and pacification of the land of war. From that, a much-debated frontier situation would develop in the 17th century. The Frontier would be an indelible mark of this colonial reality, embodied by several frontiers of war and peace. Thereafter, was born a longstanding complex of frontiers, characterized by otherness, conflicts, and by the notion of the existence of a limit. To finish, it is necessary to question how the historical subjects thought, deliberated, and planned change, hold, or obliterate the Tierra de Guerra. We mandatorily pass through the idealization and realization of the defensive war thought by Father Pedro de Valdivia, opposing to offensive war proposal, a Fuego y Sangre (by fire and blood), led by several commanders and governors, among them was detached, Alonso de Ribera. Captains, Jesuits, viceroys, and indigenous leaders coexisted and digladiated around different political projects for that spatiality. A stage to historical and centenaries conflicts, the land of war is a fundamental part of the fierce conflicts between Spaniards and Indigenous. Loudly, this land emits echoes that can be listening until our own time.
