Regiones Australes

<p><i>Regiones Australes</i> subtitled Topografía Andina; Ferrocarril Paralelo á Los Andes Como Fomento De Población Y Seguridad De La Frontera; Complemento Indispensable De La Campaña De 1879 by Manuel J. Olascoaga offers a detailed exploration of the southern regions of South America at the turn of the 20th century. This Spanish-language work emphasizes the strategic importance of the Andes region arguing for the construction of a trans-Andean railway to promote population growth and secure the national frontier. The book frames the railway project as an indispensable complement to the military campaigns of 1879. Olascoaga's work provides valuable insights into the geopolitical thinking of the era and the ambition to integrate remote territories through ambitious infrastructure projects. It remains a significant historical document for understanding South American development and territorial strategies.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
