Chileans elected a new president and the majority of members of a two-chamber congress on December 14, 1989.
The Chilean Army is 45,000 strong and is organized with an Army headquarters in Santiago, seven divisions throughout its territory, an Air Brigade in Rancagua, and a Special Forces Command in Colina.
Chileans descended from non-Spanish European nationalities are not very numerous, but include a small yet influential number of Irish and English immigrants that arrived in Chile during the Spanish colonial period, and during the 19th century.
