A fines del siglo XIX, se produjo la expansión territorial del Estado argentino en la región chaqueña. En el noreste de la actual provincia de Santa Fe esta fue precedida por la colonización efectuada por inmigrantes europeos y norteamericanos que emprendieron expediciones armadas contra los indígenas mocovíes de la zona. Aunque estas campañas se realizaron especialmente en la década de 1870 se prolongaron al menos hasta 1890. En este artículo se analizan y discuten en profundidad las características y la finalidad de las mismas. En base al examen de informes elevados por colonos, debidamente confrontados y complementados con otra documentación de la época, se sostiene que dichas expediciones no solo buscaban desplazar a los indígenas de sus tierras sino exterminarlos. El trabajo presenta además un aporte para el estudio de la sociedad, la economía y la cultura de los mocovíes de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX.
