The Patagoniadisplays importantfisiographicdifferences between the Andean areas, plateauandcoasts, that wereobjectofdifferentpopulation and putting in production processes. However, it is possible to raise the existence of some common characteristics. The occupation of thepatagonicterritory was strongly conditioned in its beginnings by the development of an extensive cattle operation with ovine predominance, that was deriving -in narrow relation with the policies from distribution and appropriation of land- in theconformationof few establishments with great extensions and low population density, that will coexist with an important number of small and medium ones. That process was not free of conflicts, even though such they acquire greater visibility at the moment in which the demands of the regional society, within the framework of the economic postwar crisis and financial international crisis of years 1929/30, they impel the sprouting of corporative instances oforganization that allow them to articulate spaces of negotiation with the national State.
