The fact that they could even secure legal recognition of their autonomy from a state power as stubborn as the Spanish in a time like the 17th century is just remarkable. But unfortunately, as you could probably predict, that recognition of their autonomy would not last.

In the 1800s, Chile and Argentina emerged as independent republics following Spanish colonial rule, each driven by an appetite for territorial expansion and a nationalist vision that excluded indigenous autonomy. With new ambitions to civilize and consolidate their nations, Chilean and Argentine leaders saw the Mapuche-held lands as resources to be exploited.

Both governments had justified their encroachment on Mapuche land under the guise of national progress. To them, these indigenous lands were free real estate to be conquered and improved. not sovereign regions held by an indigenous population.

The Islampuche way of life has a barrier to their economic development, to be replaced with European-style land holdings, settler colonies, and extractive industries. Under new management, they would not respect the 1641 Parliament of Kilin. As far as they were concerned, they didn't sign that agreement, and they would never sign an agreement with savages.

Establish and shore up your resources for a later attack. Yeah. And I can just say, well, I didn't sign that, you know, somebody else signed it, so... I don't have to be beholden to it pretty much. And so Chile would launch their campaign to annex Mapuche land, known as the Pacification of Araucana, initiated in the 1860s.

Some have argued that this attempted annexation was triggered by the events surrounding the wreck of Joven Daniel at the coast of Harkanya in 1849, where a wrecked Chilean navy vessel was allegedly looted and its survivors allegedly attacked on Mapuche territory by members of Mapuche society.

Despite the Mapuche arguing that there had been no survivors, and despite them handing over some of the accused of looting to be tried by Chilean authorities, even returning some of what was allegedly looted, the perception of the incident as a brutal loot and rape by the Mapuche fueled anti-Mapuche sentiment within Chilean society.
