Caracteristicas de Campaña Maritima (1879-1880)

The Campania Maritima was the war over access to the Pacific Coast between Peru, Bolivia and Chile in which Chile took over northern ports like Iquique and Arica from Bolivia and Peru. The war took place between 1879 and about 1884. Now, at the present time, Bolivia is fighting in court to have Chile relinquish some access to the Pacific Ocean since being landlocked makes it difficult for Bolivia to have foreign trade.
