The attention of foreigners and the interest they had in knowing a young nation, dissimilar with a rich racial diversity whose union, resulted in a multicultural and mestizo society, with great natural resources and with hope of progress, provided when measures were established to obtain a prosperous society and civilize those who considered "uncivilized".
