Reading comprehension about Chile!

Chile may derive its name from the indigenous Mapuche word chilli, which may mean
“where the land ends.” Another meaning attributed to Chile’s name is the onomatopoeic
“cheele-cheele”—the Mapuche imitation of a bird call. The Spanish heard about “Chilli”
from the Incas in Peru, who had failed to conquer the land inhabited by the Araucanians, of
which the Mapuche were the most warlike group. The survivors of Diego de Almagro’s
first Spanish expedition south from Peru in 1535-1537 called themselves “Men of Chilli.”[8]
