The Conquest of the Desert (Spanish: Conquista del desierto) was a controversial campaign by the Argentine government, executed mainly by General Julio Argentino Roca in the 1870s, to wrest Patagonia from the control of the region's aboriginal tribes at the end of the 19th century.
After Alsina died in 1877, Julio Argentino Roca was named the new Minister of War, and continued Alsina's work.
Roca, in contrast to Alsina, believed that the only solution against the aboriginal threat was to extinguish, subdue or expel them.
