After winning their independence from Spain in 1825, Peru and Bolivia became separate nations - but over the following years repeated attempts to re-unite them were frustrated by the neighboring powers, particularly Chile. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy the 1870s Chilean military superiority and expansionist policies exploded into full scale conflict. This book examines the troops, uniforms and equipment used by forces on all three sides of the conflict and traces the events of the war from the early naval blockades to the full-scale amphibious landings undertaken by the Chilean forces. The war ended in total victory for Chile, and that country's emergence thereafter as 'the Prussia of South America', while it cost Peru a lucrative province, and Bolivia its outlet to the Pacific coast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gabriele Esposito\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472814061\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472814067\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/19\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 7.20w x 0.10d","brand":"Gabriele Esposito","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088344002815,"sku":"9781472814067","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1ee57049-7a88-4b7d-bf49-be0211819c4a.jpg?v=1769104335","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/armies-of-the-war-of-gabriele-esposito-9781472814067","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
