Grandes Chilenos de Nuestra Historia
Grandes Chilenos de Nuestra Historia (English: Great Chileans of Our History; sometimes simply called Grandes Chilenos) was a Chilean TV program produced and broadcast by state channel Televisión Nacional de Chile during 2008. It was based on the style of BBC's 100 Greatest Britons. Former President Salvador Allende was elected the "Greatest Chilean". The exclusion of some personalities, most notably founding father Bernardo O'Higgins, caused controversy.[1]
