Hungarians in Chile
Hungarians in Chile, include immigrants from Hungary to Chile and their descendants. In South America, more Hungarians settled in Brazil. However, Chile was a major point of passage for Hungarians to North America and Australia. Most Hungarian immigrants to Australia from South America during the first half of the 20th century came via Chile. There is no clear record of the number of people of Hungarian descent living in the country.
Hungarian Chileans are known for their contributions to the development of iron mining in northern Chile since the 1950s.
