What is Conquest of the Desert: Genocide in Patagonia about?

The Conquest of the Desert was a 1870s military campaign led by General Julio Roca to extend Argentine dominance over Patagonia. Argentine troops killed over 1,000 indigenous people and displaced 15,000 from their traditional lands, which were then used for agriculture. While this turned Argentina into an agricultural power, it was later seen as a genocide that removed the indigenous population.
