The Kingdom of Araucania and Patagonia was brought into being when a group of
Mapuche Caciques decided that the future
independence of their lands depended
upon forming a European-style nation-state.
These leaders elected Orelie-Antoine de Tounens
as the first King of the Kingdom of Araucania and Patagonia.
