 7/ Let's start with the War of the Pacific (1879β1884), a conflict between Chile π¨π±, Bolivia π§π΄, and Peru π΅πͺ over control of nitrate-rich coastal territories. Chile emerged victorious, gaining Bolivia's entire coastline and leaving it landlocked. Despite losing its access to the sea, Bolivia still maintains a navy as a symbol of its unresolved maritime aspirations and the conflict's lasting impact on its national identity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolivian_Navy 7 comments
10/ In addition to these land disputes, Chile π¨π± and Peru π΅πͺ have had maritime territorial disputes over a sea area spanning roughly 37,000 square km. This turned into an international law case presented at the Hague π³π± in 2008 and saw Chile lose control over some of its formerly claimed territory. Below are maps of the disputed area and the agreed upon boundary following the ruling. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilean%E2%80%93Peruvian_maritime_dispute  @opencage |

Following the War of the Pacific, Chile π¨π± and Argentina π¦π· eventually divided the disputed area in 1899.
