In 1901, the first Argentine map appeared in which some of the islands in question were drawn as within Argentina's control. Despite the small size of the islands, their strategic value between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans caused a long conflict between the two South American states that went on for much of the 20th century, causing a number of 'minor' incidents, and almost culminating in a major war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe conflict focused on the dispute over the sovereignty of the islands and the oceanic rights generated by them to Chile, but it was not limited exclusively to these islands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVolume 1 of \u003ci\u003eThe Beagle Conflict\u003c\/i\u003e mini-series covers the origins of the dispute and border clashes between the two countries from the time of the independence of Chile and Argentina from the Spanish Crown, until early 1978, and is illustrated with original photographs, custom-drawn artworks and maps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Antonio Luis Sapienza Fracchia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1804513733\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781804513736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Helion \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/25\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.60h x 8.10w x 0.30d","brand":"Antonio Luis Sapienza Fracchia","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44190673797375,"sku":"9781804513736","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ac02e128-d147-426f-a092-11741e297956.jpg?v=1690871775","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-beagle-conflict-volume-1-antonio-luis-sapienza-fracchia-9781804513736","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
