What does "century society?
In the history of our country, is named after the period end of the nineteenth and early twentieth century. That is the explanation of how was Chile between 1880 and 1920, approximately. How was Chile?
After gaining independence, our country had to face challenges from how to organize politically to how to support themselves, to how to relate to other countries and determine what their territory. From the economic point of view , Chile based its development on the exploitation and export of natural resources. Thus sold and exported to foreign countries such as silver ore, copper and agricultural products like wheat flour and raw. With this money they bought goods to foreign countries that did not occur in the country. experts call "outward-oriented development" to this behavior of our economy. Towards the end of the century period Chile, after a war with Peru and Bolivia, sold nitrate, especially Europeans who needed to increase yields in agriculture and the manufacture of gunpowder, necessary to their war industries, along with copper , on the eve of the First World War, 1914.
From social point of view, lots of peasants leave the farms and go to live in the cities in search of a better life for their families. Many migrate north to work in the exploitation of nitrate. There are deceived and exploited by paying with plastic sheets for their work and forced to change in grocery stores overpriced goods by the same owner of the saltpeter. In the cities, the farmers were living in overcrowded tenements, unsanitary and health. The EDUCATION was a privilege of the elite or upper class. In the exploitation and misery of the popular sectors and farmers called social question.
From political point of view, appears the middle class and popular sectors. The first, consisting of professional soldiers and artisans, form political parties to be played at the elite governing the country. The latter must wait for the onset of labor organizations to begin the long process of social gains that will improve their living conditions. The first strikes, and the first killings, allowed social achievements today are natural: Sunday rest, chairs for relaxation and education for children of workers and peasants.
