Chile
CL / CHL -33.0°, -71.0°
Chile, officially the Republic of Chile, is a country in the Southern Cone of southwestern South America. It is the southernmost country in the world and the closest to Antarctica, extending along a narrow strip of land between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. According to the 2024 census, Chile had an enumerated population of 18.5 million. The country covers a territorial area of 756,102 square kilometers (291,933 sq mi), sharing borders with Peru to the north, Bolivia to the northeast, Argentina to the east, and the Drake Passage to the south. It also administers several Pacific islands, including Juan Fernández, Isla Salas y Gómez, Desventuradas, and Easter Island, and claims about 1,250,000 square kilometers (480,000 sq mi) of Antarctica as the Chilean Antarctic Territory. The capital and largest city is Santiago, and the official and national language is Spanish.
These are English demonyms for people from Chile. A demonym describes a connection to a place; it does not mean everyone shares an ethnicity, language or religion.
Modern borders are a starting point for exploring the past. These cultures and states occupied some of the same land; they were not the same country. Dates describe each civilization or state as a whole, not continuous rule over every place listed.

Inca Empire
c. 1438–1533 CE; successor resistance continued to 1572
An Andean empire centered at Cusco, covering portions of these modern countries, not their full territory.
The rainbow flag often labeled an Inca flag is modern. The flag of Cusco does not establish an ancient national-flag design.

Each says what kind of claim it is: a principal belligerent is
hand-checked against the modern state that succeeded the power that
fought, while a recorded participant comes from the bulk
import, which does not separate combat from funding, basing,
occupation or reconstruction. Neither list is complete, so a country
missing from a war may still have taken part — which is why the
quiz no longer asks who fought in what.
