Like every country in the American continent, Chile was 'discovered' and 'conquered' by Europeans, in our case the Spanish. Unlike other countries in the continent, giving geographical and Natural Resources factors, the original inhabitants of Chile weren't numerous at the time of the Spanish arrival. Later in time, from the mid 1800s an important influx of Germans arrive in the south of Chile, and to a much lesser degree British (mainly due to commercial activities in mining and shipping), Italians, Croats and other Europeans.

Because of European inmigration... In Argentina the majority of the population is of European descent (descendants of Italians, Spaniards, Germans) but actual inmigration to the country is from the rest of Latin America. Actual inmigrants who go to Argentina are not Whites so the non White population is growing in the country due to no inmigration restriction.
