The Conquest of the Desert lasted until 1884. Would it have been possible for a German Patagonia? Say German pledges support for Chile in excahnge for getting some land in Patagonia (OTL Santa Cruz Province and Tierra Del Fuego?)

No. If this was during the reign of Wilhelm II, maybe, but at this point Bismarck ran the show and would veto any proposal of this nature.

British objections: No British objections, due to the fact that the timeframe we talk about (roughly up to 1890), the German-British relations were good. It is NOT 1914. Britain had the Falklands as base, so a German Patagonia in that time would have not met with objections from London. (But I´m sure the disciples of your actual minister Gove, who are unable to compute their own old documents when it runs contrary to their "Rule Britannia" worldview, will see it different. Never let reality intrude on your ignorance, seems to be his motto)British objections?

Britain had extensive economic interests in the 'southern cone' of South America, and so might possibly have objected to the idea of another European power establishing itself there.British objections: No British objections, due to the fact that the timeframe we talk about (roughly up to 1890), the German-British relations were good.

But IOTL it could potentially have received the Royal Navy's support in that enforcement.In any case, the US of that time would have been hardpressed to enforce the MD in South America. In the e.g. 1880s the US Navy would not have been able counter a real try by any European Great Power down there.
I never reported about posts from you, no matter how inflamming they were. And while you might not see it, there were some. As for Gove, his less than historical accurate opinions made it into the newspapers. This is no flamming, just stating a fact.Ireelevant flame-baiting. Reported..
