Because Chile and the whole of South and Central America (except Brasil, north of USA and Canada) were part of the Spanish Empire during centuries XVI, XVII, XVIII, losing the last territory (which I believe was Cuba) during c. XIX
When South America had just been discovered, the pope created the Line of Demarcation to show what land Spain could claim and what land Portugal could claim. Chile waws West of the Line of Demarcation and was therefore settled by the Spanish, who brought their language to the country where it has remained ever since.
The language of Chile originated in the nation of Spain. The primary language of the long and think country in South America is Spanish.

What are official language of the world Is there any organization that regconize English as a global language?
Since no organization can claim to represent the whole world, there is no "official" language for the world. The closest such organization would be the United Nations, which uses six official languages: English, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, French, and Russian. The use of languages by international organizations is usually related to the number of speakers rather than any "official" status. This is why, for example, English and Spanish have become defacto global standards. English is clearly a global language, but this is merely a measure of its widespread use, not of any official recognition.
