A personal favorite story of mine and a lot of Chileans is how we captured the Huascar (search Arturo Pratt and La Esmeralda) or about our seizing of El Morro de Arica which was in all honesty a strategic masterpiece in the side of the Chileans. Love to all the Bolivians and Peruvians.

At 6:53 you mentioned Chile was gonna return Tacna and Arica to Perú, but in reality after 10 years of the treaty, a referendum in those two territories was gonna be held over which country they'd decide to form part of. In the end the referendum was held ~50 years after around 1929 when in Arica won staying with Chile and in Tacna it won coming back to Perú, and in the years inbetween during the 1920s Chile went giving back some towns back to Perú north of Tacna too, also that's important to mention

[@skhugo1]

6:43 This was even more complicated. The agreement was that Chile had to organize a referendum on Arica and Tacna to ask if they prefered to stay with Chile or return to Peruvian rule. For the same reasons that the ones we see in the video, this was not possible with Cáceres gov. Eventually, by the 20s it was clear that a referendum was still impossible to carry out, so they decided that the Arica area would go to Chile and Tacna to Perú, all of this with American mediation that was requested by both nations.

[@trauko1388]

It was always landlocked, its natural port was Arica, the only one with an actual access to Bolivia by road, the Bolivian coast was a desert and it was almost impossible to cross and set up a commercial route. So, Bolivia always used Arica, te port as a matter of fact, well, the people, wanted to be part of Bolivia, but the prospect of taxing most of Bolivia's trade was too much of a temptation for Peru, so they kept the port and were constantly on the verge of war over it since independence.

[@felipemorales4963]

Amazing video, just as a small, detail the sinking of the Esmeralda shown as running the blockade by the peruvians on may 21st of 1879 was a pivotal moment because in Chile there wasn't much support for the war effort up to that point but once the news made it home about the sailors killed in what was considered an unfair battle (an old frigate and a schooner VS a monitor and an armored frigate) the chilean army and navy had a much easier time finding voluntaries willing to go fight a war against the peruvians and bolivians. The real tragedy is that the peruvian Captain in charge of that detachment (Miguel Grau) was a good friend of the chilean one (Arturo Prat). He mourned his death and wrote a heartfelt letter to the widow of Prat lamenting his passing and sending his belongings to her, a true seawolf and gentleman of the seas. He would find his own death on october 8th when the chilean navy captured the Huáscar. (fun fact the Huáscar still is afloat today as a museum in southern Chile even though the peruvians have asked for it to be returned as a gesture of good will, its unlikely the chilean navy wil give up their most prized trophy).

Volverán sin ser los que partieron faltarán algunos que murieron, honrará la patria a todos ellos para siempre, para siempre su memoria guardará.

You could have included a few of the land and sea battles. Some of those were key to galvanize the huge support of the Chilean population to the cause of the war. The most important one was the naval battle at Iquique on May 21, 1879, during which Captain Arturo Prat raised to immortality because of his incredible courage.

- Dictator broke a recently signed border treaty, starting a war with a neighbour because of money. - Contested territory had the only ports, but most of the population and business in it where actually Chilean. You actually cared so little, that for the first battle of the war you pretty much only had militia in the whole territory. - The war strategy was rellaying exclusibly in the secret alliance, but most military blunders where your dictators fault (because polítics) and mid war you just stop (because polítics), leaving your ally alone. - The rest of the war you just watch and see as your ally implode on itself, fearing an enemy invasion that never came because for them you aren't worth it. - At the end of the war you lost the rich saltpeper costline, but you didn't really controle it before. Unlike your ally, who lost twice as much, including the birthplace of one of their greatest presidents (soo, pretty much a fckng core territory). - The enemy actually pays compensation, including the construcction of an important railway through the fckng mountains (they builded the hard part) and costums free usage of their ports. - You swear revenge, bitching about your costline in every fckng international instance posible (the first bolivian petition to the League of National was about the sea), for ever.

The Americans were so afraid of a war with Chile that they retreat all their forces from Panama. *the protected cruiser Esmeralda was sold to the Empire of Japan in 1894 and renamed as Izumi.

One correction: Chile was NOT to return Tacan and Arica to Peru after 10 years, but to keep them for 10 years and call for a referendum and let both cities decided if they wanted to be Chilean or Peruvean, and whomever won would pay 10 million pesos in compensation. But Peru and Chile never agreed how that referendum would work or who could vote, Peru arguing that only citizens who lived there before the war had a right to vote and Chile, who sent Chileand citizens to both cities, said everyone could vote. The Peruvian Civil War had little effect in this as Caceres recognized the treaty, the Chilean Civil War of 1891 had a higher impact as the balance of power between the President and Parlament shifted in favor of the later and that complicated international relations. In the end Chile returned Tacna to Peru in 1929 and kept Arica

[@Ub_Macias]

The only bad thing about this war was that my country Ecuador did not enter, we would have supported our Chilean friends 100%, I did not know that they were getting so close to our borders. If we had divided Peru into at least 3 or 4 states, we would have avoided so many senseless conflicts generated by Peruvians. Peru spent 166 years fighting against its neighbors for ridiculous reasons, 1995 the last one was when Ecuador shot down 4 fighter planes and 5 helicopters against Peru. After that, the Peruvians calmed down.
