War of the Pacific strips Bolivia of coastal land

The War of the Pacific between Bolivia and Chile ended with Bolivia losing its coastal territories to Chile. The conflict arose due to disputes over mineral-rich lands. Bolivia lost access to the Pacific Ocean, impacting its economy and international trade routes. The Treaty of Peace and Friendship of 1904 solidified Chile's control over the disputed territories. As a result, Bolivia became a landlocked country, facing economic challenges due to the lack of coastal access. This loss still resonates in Bolivian national consciousness, shaping its foreign policy approach. The event continues to influence bilateral relations between Bolivia and Chile. #WarofthePacific #Bolivia #Chile #TreatyofPeaceandFriendship #LandlockedCountry #EconomicImpact
