Settlement began about 10,000 years ago, and the area was soon occupied by the Mapuche. The Mapuche, who remain Chile's largest Indigenous group today, fought valiantly to defend their land against invaders: first, against the Inca, whose imperial ambitions began creeping into northern Chile in the late 15th century; then, against the Spanish, whose conquest of the area began in 1540. Isolated by geography and Mapuche resistance, Spanish settlement in Chile was a bit of a rough, frontier affair that mostly served as a buffer between Spain's enemies and her other colonies. Movement for independence began in the early 19th century, and the struggle between Chilean revolutionaries and Spanish authority continued until 1818, when the Spanish were decisively defeated at the Battle of Maipú.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 10,000 escudos note dates to 1974. The portrait on the obverse is of founding father and independence leader Bernardo O'Higgins.
