IChile, igama eligcwele leRiphabhlikhi yaseChile, inendawo engamakhilomitha-skwele angama-756,626 (kufaka phakathi indawo engamakhilomitha-skwele angama-756,253 nendawo yesiqhingi engamakhilomitha-skwele angama-373). Kutholakala eningizimu-ntshonalanga yeNingizimu Melika, amagquma asentshonalanga ama-Andes. Lakhelene ne-Argentina empumalanga, iPeru neBolivia ngasenyakatho, iPacific Ocean entshonalanga, ne-Antarctica ngaseningizimu ngaphesheya kolwandle. Ugu lolwandle cishe lungamakhilomitha ayi-10 000 ubude, amakhilomitha angama-4352 ubude ukusuka enyakatho kuye eningizimu, amakhilomitha angama-96.8 ukusuka empumalanga kuya entshonalanga, namakhilomitha angama-362.3 ububanzi.Yizwe elinendawo encane kunazo zonke emhlabeni. Ngasempumalanga ithambeka elisentshonalanga lama-Andes, elibala cishe u-1/3 wobubanzi bensimu yonke; entshonalanga uhla lwezintaba ezisogwini olunobude obungamamitha ayi-300-2000. Ingxenye enkulu yale ndawo igudla ugu futhi ingena olwandle ngaseningizimu, yakha iziqhingi eziningi ezisogwini; Isigodi esigcwele amadiphozi alluvial cishe ngamamitha ayi-1200 ngaphezu kogu lolwandle. Kukhona izintaba-mlilo eziningi ensimini nokuzamazama komhlaba okuvamile. Isiqongo se-Ojos del Salado emngceleni ophakathi kweChile ne-Argentina singamamitha ayi-6,885 ngaphezu kogu lolwandle, okuyindawo ephakeme kakhulu ezweni. Kunemifula engaphezu kwama-30 ezweni, ebaluleke kakhulu nguMfula iBiobio. Iziqhingi eziyinhloko iTierra del Fuego, iChiloe Island, iWellington Island, njll. Isimo sezulu singahlukaniswa sibe yizindawo ezintathu ezihlukene: enyakatho, maphakathi, naseningizimu: ingxenye esenyakatho ikakhulu isimo sezulu sogwadule; isigaba esiphakathi wuhlobo lwasolwandle lwaseMedithera olunobusika obunemvula nobusika obomile. Isimo sezulu; INingizimu iyisimo sezulu esinehlathi esivulekile esinamanzi amaningi. Njengoba etholakala emaphethelweni aseningizimu yezwekazi laseMelika futhi ebhekene ne-Antarctica enqamula olwandle, abantu baseChile bavame ukubiza izwe labo ngokuthi "izwe lokuphela komhlaba."

Izwe lihlukaniswe izifunda eziyi-13, nezifundazwe ezingama-50 namadolobha angama-341. Amagama ezifunda ami kanjena: I-Tarapaca, i-Antofagasta, i-Atacama, i-Coquimbo, i-Valparaiso, i-General O'Higgins i-Liberator, i-Maule, i-Biobio, i-A Rocanía, Los Lagos, Eisen weGeneral Ibanez, Magellan, eSantiago Metropolitan Region.

Ezinsukwini zokuqala, kwakuhlala amaqembu ezinhlanga zamaNdiya anjengo-Alaugan kanye nabantu baseHuotian. Ngaphambi kokuqala kwekhulu le-16, kwakungekaMbuso Wama-Inca. Ngo-1535, amakholoni aseSpain ahlasela inyakatho yeChile esuka ePeru. Ngemuva kokusungulwa kweSantiago ngo-1541, iChile yaba ikoloni laseSpain futhi yabuswa yiyo cishe iminyaka engama-300. NgoSepthemba 18, 1810, iChile yasungula ikomidi elibusayo lokuzimela. NgoFebhuwari 1817, amabutho ahlangene ne-Argentina anqoba ibutho lamakoloni laseSpain. Ukuzimela kwamenyezelwa ngokusemthethweni ngoFebhuwari 12, 1818, kwasungulwa neRiphabhlikhi yaseChile.

Ifulegi likazwelonke: liqukethe okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, okumhlophe nokubomvu. Ikhona lefulegi ohlangothini olungaphezulu lwe-flagpole liyisikwele esiluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka esinenkanyezi emhlophe ekhonjiwe emihlanu emaphakathi. Umhlaba wefulegi unamaceleni amabili ahambisanayo, amhlophe futhi abomvu. Okumhlophe ngaphezulu, okubomvu kungaphansi. Ingxenye emhlophe ilingana nezingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zengxenye ebomvu. Umbala obomvu ufanekisela igazi labafel 'ukholo abafa ngobuqhawe eRancagua ukuthola inkululeko nenkululeko yaseChile, nokumelana nokubusa kwebutho lamakoloni laseSpain. Okumhlophe kufanekisela iqhwa elimhlophe le-Andes peak. Okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka kufanekisela ulwandle.

I-Chile inabantu abangu-16.0934 million (2004), kanti abantu basemadolobheni babalelwa ku-86.6%. Phakathi kwabo, umjaho we-Indo-European oxubene waba ngu-75%, abamhlophe abangu-20%, amaNdiya angu-4.6%, kanti abanye abangu-2%. Ulimi olusemthethweni iSpanishi, kanti isiMapuche sisetshenziswa emiphakathini yamaNdiya. Abantu abangama-69.9% abaneminyaka engaphezu kwengu-15 bakholelwa kubuKhatholika, kanti abali-15.14% bakholelwa kubuvangeli.

IChile yizwe elisezingeni eliphakathi nentuthuko. Izimayini, amahlathi, ezokudoba nezolimo zicebile ngezinsizakusebenza futhi ziyizinsika ezine zomnotho wezwe. Inothile ngokufakwa kwamaminerali, amahlathi nezinsiza zasemanzini, idume umhlaba wonke ngobuningi bethusi futhi yaziwa ngokuthi "izwe lezimayini zethusi". Izinqolobane zethusi ezifakazelwe zifinyelela kumathani angaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-200, zikleliswe kuqala emhlabeni, zibala cishe i-1/3 yezinqolobane zomhlaba. Umthamo wokukhipha nowokuthekelisa wethusi nawo ungowokuqala emhlabeni. Izinsimbi zigcinwa cishe kumathani ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-1.2, kanti izinqolobane zamalahle zingamathani ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezinhlanu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kukhona i-saltpeter, i-molybdenum, igolide, isiliva, i-aluminium, i-zinc, iodine, uwoyela, igesi yemvelo, njll. Inothile emahlathini asezingeni eliphansi kanye nezinkuni ezinhle kakhulu.Ingumthengisi omkhulu kunayo yonke wemikhiqizo yehlathi eLatin America. Inothile ngezinsiza zokudoba, iyizwe lesihlanu ngobukhulu lokudoba emhlabeni. Imboni nezimayini kungukuphila komnotho wezwe waseChile. Indawo yokulinywa ingamakhilomitha-skwele ayi-16,600. Ihlathi lezwe lihlanganisa indawo engamahektha ayizigidi ezingama-15, 64, okubalwa kuwo u-20.8% wendawo yomhlaba wezwe. Imikhiqizo eyinhloko yehlathi yizinkuni, uginindela, iphepha, njll.

IChile ingelinye lamazwe anezinga eliphakeme lamasiko nobuciko eLatin America. Kunemitapo yolwazi eyi-1999 ezweni lonke, iqoqo eliphelele lezincwadi eziyizigidi eziyi-17.907. Kunamabhayisikobho angama-260. Inhlokodolobha iSantiago iyisikhungo semisebenzi yamasiko kuzwelonke, esinemibukiso yobuciko engama-25. Imbongi uGabriela Mistral yawina iNobel Prize for Literature ngo-1945, yaba ngumbhali wokuqala waseNingizimu Melika ukuthola lo mklomelo. Imbongi uPablo Neruda yawina umklomelo kaNobel ngo-1971 kuLwazi.

I-Easter Island yaseChile itholakala eningizimu-mpumalanga yePacific Ocean futhi idume nge-colossus yayo engaqondakali. Kunamabhasi amakhulu amatshe angaphezu kwamakhulu ayisithupha abheke olwandle kulesi siqhingi. NgoFebhuwari 1996, lesi siqhingi samenyezelwa njenge-UNESCO njengefa lamasiko omhlaba.

ISantiago: ISantiago, inhlokodolobha yaseChile, idolobha lesine ngobukhulu eNingizimu Melika. Etholakala maphakathi neChile, ubheke uMfula iMapocho ngaphambili, i-Andes empumalanga, netheku laseValparaiso entshonalanga cishe amakhilomitha ayi-185. Imboza indawo engamakhilomitha-skwele ayi-13,308 futhi ingamamitha ayi-600 ngaphezu kolwandle. Ihlobo lomile futhi alimnene, kanti ubusika bupholile futhi lina futhi kunenkungu. Inani labantu liyi-6,465,300 (2004), futhi lakhiwa ngo-1541. Ngemuva kweMpi yaseMaipu (impi eyathatha isinqumo eMpini Yenkululeko YaseChile) ngo-1818, yaba inhlokodolobha.

Yakhula ngokushesha ngemuva kokutholakala kwezimayini zesiliva ngekhulu leshumi nesishiyagalolunye. Kusukela lapho, sekulinyazwe kaningi yizinhlekelele zemvelo ezinjengokuzamazama komhlaba nezikhukhula, futhi izakhiwo zomlando zanyamalala. ISan Diego yanamuhla isiphenduke idolobha lesimanje. I-cityscape yinhle futhi inemibala. Ukuphehla kwesundu unyaka wonke. Intaba iSanta Lucia engamamitha angu-230 ephakeme enkabeni yedolobha iyindawo enhle edumile. Ekhoneni elisenyakatho-mpumalanga yedolobha, kukhona iSan Cristobal Mountain ephakeme ngamamitha ayi-1 000. Isifanekiso esikhulu semabula seVirgin sakhiwe esiqongweni sentaba, okuheha kakhulu abantu bendawo.

Umgwaqo omkhulu waseSan Diego, u-O'Higgins Avenue, ungamakhilomitha ama-3 ubude namamitha ayi-100 ububanzi, futhi ugijima unqamule idolobha. Izihlahla ezinhlangothini zombili zimboze imigwaqo, futhi kunomthombo futhi oqoshwe ngokugqamile izithombe zesikhumbuzo zethusi njalo kude. Kukhona iLiberation Square ngasentshonalanga komgwaqo, iSyntagma Square eseduze, neBagdano Square ohlangothini olusempumalanga lomgwaqo. Kunesikwele samabutho ahlomile enkabeni yedolobha. Kukhona iSonto LamaKatolika, isonto eliyinhloko, iposi, nehholo ledolobha ezindaweni ezisemadolobheni nezasemaphandleni; kuneYunivesithi yasendulo yaseChilean, iCatholic University, iNational College, umtapo wolwazi omkhulu kunayo yonke eNingizimu Melika (enezincwadi eziyizigidi eziyi-1.2), umnyuziyamu womlando, igalari kazwelonke, namapaki nezilwane Nezikhumbuzo. Cishe ama-54% embonini yezwe igxile lapha. Amadlelo aniselwa ngezintaba namanzi ase-Andesan, futhi kuthuthukiswa ezolimo.Kuyisikhungo sikazwelonke somhlaba nezokuthuthwa komoya.
