题目内容
【题目】Chile is a country of southwest South America with a long Pacific coastline. Santiago is the capital and the largest city. The population of the country is about 11,329,736.
A long time ago, Chile belonged to Spain, a European country, because it was colonized by Spain in 1541,Many of Chileans, how-ever, did not want to be ruled by Spain.
Led by Bernardo O'Higgins, some of them formed a small army. They attacked the Spanish soldiers at different times and different places.
This made the King of Spain very angry. He sent more soldiers to Chile to deal with them.
Although there were far more Spanish soldiers than freedom fighters, they refused to surrender and fought bravely.
At last, however, in 1814,they were forced to retreat to the town of Rancagua near Santiago. There, O'Higgins and his men were surrounded by the Spanish army and O'Higgins was wounded by an enemy bullet.
It seemed as if their fight for freedom were over. But O'Higgins refused to surrender. Even though he was wounded, he ordered his men to collect as many mules, cows, sheep and dogs as possible. Shouting at the top of his voice, he rode into the animals. Frightened, they began to run. They ran straight at the Spanish soldiers. Now it was the Spaniards' turn to be frightened. They turned and run away from the animals as fast as they could, allowing O'Higgins and his men to escape to the mountains.
There he built up his army, and in 1818 he defeated the Spanish and the country declared its independence. He then became the first president of the new, free nation in the same year.
