The Croatian Colony on the Edge of the World (History of Chileno-croatas and Argentino-croatas)

What is the strange Croatian colony on the edge of the known world? Today, we're going to discuss the history of the Croatians who made a home for themselves on the very Southern tip of South America, a region so distant and remote that it bears significance among all European overseas settlements.
Let me know your thoughts on the history of these Croatians in South America and other Slavs in the region. Thanks for watching!

I'm an expat from the States living in Argentina. One day an older gentleman from my neighborhood approached me happily on the street while I was out shopping and started speaking Croatian to me. When he realized that I didn't understand him he quickly changed to Spanish and said "You're not from Croatia? I was told that you are from Croatia.". "Sorry sir, I'm not. I'm from the US." "Oh," he said sadly, turned and walked away. It broke my heart!

There are so many Croats in Chile! Yes, most of them came in the first wave to Punta Arenas, but after that, many established in Antofagasta, Iquique, Santiago and Valparaiso. The sea-faring blood of Dalmatians explains in part why they liked living in ports. As someone already said, most Chileans Croats come from the island of Brac, but also from nearby islands like Korcula or Sipan...basically, they’re all distant cousins. I live in Santiago and Croat influence is felt everwhere, in street names, politicians, TV personalities, the Croat Stadium, etc. My husband’s grandfather was born in Sipan and came here after WWII (he fought the Nazis but didn’t like Tito). Last year we visited his hometown of Sipanska Luka, his house is still there. Such a beautiful place! I loved visiting a place I had heard so much about and meeting the people there.

For me this video is especially interesting and enjoyable as I was personally in the Croatian Club in Puntas Arenas. During 1990-ties I lived for several years in Santiago de Chile. Every Sunday we would go to the Yugoslav Club, which later on was renamed the Croatian Club. The club was completely renovated in early nineties. The club has has extensive sports facilities, including a soccer field and a swimming pool. The restaurant offered full course meals, The waiters always served with white gloves. It was a classy place with music and singing. I was told that overseas South Slavs were the first promoters of the idea to create a South Slavs State. And that the Slavs of Chile were the greatest enthusiasts. It is too bad that Yugoslavia fell apart and that those problems came also to us who live overseas. With love from a Slavic Canadian.

This actually helps my friend from Argentina his Father was born in Argentina and his parents were of Italian decent while his mother was 2nd generation Argentinian and she said to me (since I come from Former Yugoslavia) that he cane from a country around there and moved for a better job... I was confused because I’ve never heard of any Slavic migration to there I’ve heard to other European countries and the Americas.... this truly helps as the chances are the father was from Croatia... meaning he is of Croatian decent (also what was the father last name I do not know as she said he changed it but he did have a Slavic name for Croatia being Petar) interesting I cracked the case!

[@CrashBandicootFan100]

Okay, I know this is nitpicky, but as a Croat, the way you Americans pronounce ć (or ignore it completely by writing names with a c) is pretty mind boggling for me. The letter ć is easy for you peeps to pronounce. It's like saying the "ch" part of Chile, church, chicken etc. It's not (example Radić) RadiC, it's RadiCH. Same works for the letter č, but you gotta hear the difference to understand that pronunciation.

[@andro7862]

I know right! It's so irritating.

[@heliamaffet286]

A couple corrections regarding some common mistakes; Croatia isn't a Eastern European country in spite of it being a Slavic country with a communist past, but is rather located in South Central Europe with only 42% of its land lying within the Balkan Peninsula. Also, the number of croats in Latin America far exceeds what you mentioned. According to the most recent academic analysis, approximately one million "croats" account for the Chilean population of today, exempli gratia. It was a good and informative video, nonetheless.

In Chilean politics theres many descendants of Croatians: Vodanovic, Mirocevic, Boric, Galetovic, Marinovic, Prokurika, Ljubetic, Vuskovic, etc. Those are the first ones that come immediately to my mind, but theres more. Most of them are clearly from upper class.

Speaking of the Croatia, there is a very interesting history of the Dutch sailors. In the 1500s, some Dutch sailors named Jan Jansz Weltevree is recorded to have landed in Korea by accident on his way to Japan. He ended up adopting into Korean society and had two children. Twenty years later, another crew of Dutch sailors landed in Korea, meeting Weltevree. This story is well documented in Hendrick Hamel's journals. They gave birth to perhaps the first mixed-race Koreans because the contact with Europe was very limited. In fact, I myself have 0.1% European DNA detected. I personally think this story is very interesting. Could you perhaps do some research on it and make a video? Thank you very much!

Andy Kim Not to burst your bubble, but Ancestry tests must be taken with a grain of salt to some degree. If you were to take tests from multiple different companies, you'd probably find that yes, the main lineages of yours would still be there, but most likely in widely varying amounts from test to test, and some of the more minor lineages might be missing entirely. A person could be pure-blooded Southwest African tribal and it still might give a 0.1% Arab

The legend of the Del Fuego Croats as told to me was that they were headed for the USA and every time the zene asked if they were going the right way the indignant husbands would say "naravno" which means "surely" but literally translates to "straight ahead" in english, when they ran out of land to get lost upon, they changed their plan. it sounds more plausible than your explanation.

[@rafaelbrgnr]

Well, considering that 54 million people vote for her and there's no financial crime, yes, it was a coup. Who went to streets were right wingers (or just people that have not cared about politics in their entire life) and people who voted in the candidate who get the second place, that one who owned a helicopter with 500 kf of cocaine. People who wanted to impose right wing policies in the economy, harming the poorer part of the population. These people are the responsible for the current state of affairs in Brazil, they ruined the economy, they ended the democracy here just because they hated to see the low classes being able to go up in the social ladder. They claim to fight corruption, but all their candidates are the historic most corrupt ones.

Just like americans, some of us are, some of us aren't. I am, and in the region I live most of us are, in other regions like the north, europeans descendants are a minority. It's hard to know exact numbers because the goverment doesn't take racial census, but the estimates are around 60% european population. Although I think that percentage is falling mostly due to immigration from bordering countries were the population is more amerindian.
