[edit] History section

I removed the following section because it it extremely unclear:

Apart from the general Chilean economic crisis, German capitals were frozen after pressure from the USA and their products were boycotted outside Chile.

Are we talking about German capital, as in investment money, or are we talking about cities in Chile with people of Germanic origin?

What references do we have to document the fact that the USA put on pressure, and where were products boycotted? Whose products were boycotted, Chilean products, products produced by Germanic people? Where were these boycotts implemented? My only recollection of boycotts is a New Zealand boycott of Chilean products in the 1990's -- if this is the case, it might be useful to specify how this affected Valdivia specifically.

[edit] Osorno proposals

I'm wondering if it is pertinent in an encyclopedia to have details about things which were proposed but never happened. In a few months or years probably no one in Osorno or Valdivia will even remember these details ... why would a casual reader, such as would consult Wikipedia care about something like this?

This was the reasoning behind my earlier removal of these details. Does anyone have any other thoughts about this? --JAXHERE | Talk 13:40, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
