Literalmente tenian 11 tipos de rifle, once tipos de balas distintas, sigo?
@@AzumiMc Chile no "atacó" porque si, eso le faltó al video, mencionar el acuerdo que Bolivia no cumplió y que Bolivia mismo tiró a la guerra a Perú con su alianza... Chile se defendió
What you must always remember about this war it is that it was fought IN THE DESERT, incluiding the driest desert in the world (Atacama Desert) the logistics had a huge relevance to make a war like that in 1879.
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.
It's crazy to think about, but my ancestors lived in those places during that time. My paternal great-grandmother was born in Tacna when it was still under Chilean occupation. She got married in 1927 in Tacna to my great-grandfather who had come from Germany. I even have the original marriage certificate that states 'Department of Tacna' with the Chilean coat of arms. It also mentions that the marriage took place in 'Tacna, Chile'
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
Chile no lo regreso ni penso hacerlo porque podía (y el Perú no podia evitarlo con la fuerza), asi como que podía hacer campañas agresivas y terroristas de chilenizacion contra los pobladores de Arica, Tacna y Tarapacá.
The referendum was never held it was just decided between Chile and Peru that Arica became Peruvian again and Tacna stayed part of Chilean like that referendum was planned to be held but never happened
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.
As a Chilean I cannot express how thoroughly we are taught of this war, not only by the school but also by our parents and grandparents. We speak proudly of our achievements during the war, although it was only a massacre for all sides. 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.
que dices si el patriotismo ya lo dejaron atras los progres en el siglo pasado, ahora solo dicen que se acabe chile y recuerdan la masacre de los mineros en la escuela santa maria.
Same! Favorite histories is La Esmeralda, Capture of Huascar and Seize of Morro de Arica. Iconic! There's one I also like. In one where a Monitor I think or some of those metal hardened ships of Peru was chasing a Chilean wooden ship, The wooden ship sailed next to a rock and quickly steered, The Peruvian ship made of stronger and Materials with more Weight couldn't steer at time and crashed against the rock, Causing it to sink.
I remember when I read about the conflict, peruvians were without support, with even defective material (like the dynamite that never detonated). Really surprising how all the peruvians preferred to fight until the end
@@sausage-x3p Ok and? USA history is just a massive ball of inmigrants from all over the world thrown into a single hot pot. USA history in north america is arguably boring compared to that of the history of other latin american countries in their respective regions of the American continent.
Victoria 2 gameplay: naval blockades, entire months to occupy a province, nationalist rebels due to war, naval invasions to the enemy capital, the enemy who is losing has a lot of war exhaustion and get rebels
we do a quite considerable amount of mental trickery and mockery of those who are unfortunate enough to fall into our clever little trap of social teasing
I don't think so, if you analyze the conflict well. It was a 1 vs 1 only with peru and they had irregular material, poor training... and despite that those soldiers preferred to fight until the end like Naz_ Germany (chile) vs Poland (peru) respect for both armies for different reasons
Chile fighting two countries in the desert. Meanwhile argentina: yea yea i can steal all this land in the patagonia and then call them traitors when they help de brits even when our hymn was "after the brits we'll take the chileans"
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).
@@carlossime6572 the video show that the war was started by Bolivia and Peru, and some months later Chile declares war after finding the alliance between both countries ... Chile just make a protest in a first place, not trying to go in a war at all
@@carlossime6572well you see, when a conflict starts because higher ups want money most people here won't care, when a conflict starts because the people from other countries thinks we are nothing against them we all fight to the beat the shit out of them. We almost went to war with Argentina and trust me if it was going to be a massacre for both sides no matter how many man Argentina might have sent.
You know what's even funnier? There's a non-negigible amount of peruvians that DON'T want the Huáscar returned because they're sure it won't be taken care of with the level of attention and care that the Chileans give it. It's actually insane how well kept it is.

After the War of the Pacific the Chilean Navy was the most powerful in the Pacific Ocean, even the US was scared of it. The best example of it was the Panama Crisis of 1885, when the US tried to intervene in Panama (back then a territory of Colombia) and Chile, in support of Colombia, sent it best warship, the protected cruiser Esmeralda. 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. It fought in the famous Battle of Tushima during the Russo-Japanese War
There's actually been a new movement to demand Chile give them their ocean access back in recent years. Bolivia has sued them in international courts, etc. from what I've heard. Not sure if it will set off a new war in the future, but with how insane the world's been getting you can't entirely rule it out.

Fun fact: 5 of the 6 Peruvian Type 209 submarines are named from this war. Angamos, Antogagasta, Arica, Chipana and Pisagua are all cities which used to be part of Peru, but are now Chilean. Also, I traveled with a Chilean navy ship many years ago up the Pacific coast. When we visited Callao, only the Chilean ship was forbidden from entering Callao harbor.
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.

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. Yeah....Bolivia dosen't deserve pitty in my book. Poor Perú tho
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
It's curious, i find a same analogy to Pacific War and Pacific War (Second Sino-japanese War)... lol, same invasions, retreats and even consequences, basically people reacting emotionally to an old war where even in those years of fighting the popular opinion was slighter of "patriotism".
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.

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.
bro, literally the president of Peru was a corrupt who let arica go to Chile, Leguia it's a traitor of Peru. Some day Arica will come back to home 🇵🇪
De seguro si hicieran el referéndum hoy en día, tanto Tacna como Arica optarían por pertenecer a Chile xd
Para nada, como ariqueño conozco el orgullo peruano de los Tacneños@@ALEX-fq7hh
It's crazy to think about, but my ancestors lived in those places during that time. My paternal great-grandmother was born in Tacna when it was still under Chilean occupation. She got married in 1927 in Tacna to my great-grandfather who had come from Germany. I even have the original marriage certificate that states 'Department of Tacna' with the Chilean coat of arms. It also mentions that the marriage took place in 'Tacna, Chile'
Tacna is CHILEAN🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
That's pretty cool
@@edanro9787 hey, don't say stupid things...
@@gordonlagranlocomotora6760 It was a joke
Based lineage.
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
The return of cities north of Tacna was mentioned towards the end of the video.

@@EmperorTigerstar there was more than one, that's what I tried to say
Chile no lo regreso ni penso hacerlo porque podía (y el Perú no podia evitarlo con la fuerza), asi como que podía hacer campañas agresivas y terroristas de chilenizacion contra los pobladores de Arica, Tacna y Tarapacá.
The referendum was never held it was just decided between Chile and Peru that Arica became Peruvian again and Tacna stayed part of Chilean like that referendum was planned to be held but never happened
From Chile big respect for this animation. Thanks!
Great video, always wondered why Bolivia was landlocked
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.

As a Chilean I cannot express how thoroughly we are taught of this war, not only by the school but also by our parents and grandparents. We speak proudly of our achievements during the war, although it was only a massacre for all sides. 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.
que dices si el patriotismo ya lo dejaron atras los progres en el siglo pasado, ahora solo dicen que se acabe chile y recuerdan la masacre de los mineros en la escuela santa maria.
Same! Favorite histories is La Esmeralda, Capture of Huascar and Seize of Morro de Arica. Iconic! There's one I also like. In one where a Monitor I think or some of those metal hardened ships of Peru was chasing a Chilean wooden ship, The wooden ship sailed next to a rock and quickly steered, The Peruvian ship made of stronger and Materials with more Weight couldn't steer at time and crashed against the rock, Causing it to sink.
I remember when I read about the conflict, peruvians were without support, with even defective material (like the dynamite that never detonated).

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).
:O amazing a war started for Chile hadn't the local support, maybe was like the USA-Viet war, the population was against the conflict
@@carlossime6572 the video show that the war was started by Bolivia and Peru, and some months later Chile declares war after finding the alliance between both countries ... Chile just make a protest in a first place, not trying to go in a war at all

You know what's even funnier? There's a non-negigible amount of peruvians that DON'T want the Huáscar returned because they're sure it won't be taken care of with the level of attention and care that the Chileans give it. It's actually insane how well kept it is.

After the War of the Pacific the Chilean Navy was the most powerful in the Pacific Ocean, even the US was scared of it. The best example of it was the Panama Crisis of 1885, when the US tried to intervene in Panama (back then a territory of Colombia) and Chile, in support of Colombia, sent it best warship, the protected cruiser Esmeralda. 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. It fought in the famous Battle of Tushima during the Russo-Japanese War
The United Kingdom and Chile are proof that nations that historically prioritized their navies really gained an enormous advantage over their rivals
And in the end Bolivian nationalists ended up more salty than the sea they lost.

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.
Better explained in 8 minutes than in many, many years of booooring history! For context, my grandfather's birth certificate states his places of birth as, "Tacna, (Chile)".

it's hard to feel bad for bolivia despite losing it's coast
- 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.

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
Good video
6:46 the returning of Arica and Tacna was subject to voting that never took place so Chile ended up returning just Tacna

This was the last war against Perú and Bolivia. 40 years before this war, Chile won the 1st war against Perú and Bolivia (1836-1839).
