The Pacific War was the greatest and bloodiest war ever fought in the Andean region, and is one of the most important conflicts in South American history. It is also known as the 'Saltpeter War' or the 'Guano War' because the possession of these two highly profitable nitrates was the main cause of the conflict. By the 1870s Chilean military superiority and expansionist policies exploded into full scale conflict. This book examines the troops, uniforms and equipment used by the Chilean, Peruvian and Bolivian forces and traces the events of the war from the early naval blockades, through major pitched battles, to the final guerilla campaign in occupied Peru. The war ended in total victory for Chile, and that country's military emergence thereafter as 'the Prussia of South America', while it cost Peru some lucrative provinces, and Bolivia its outlet to the Pacific coast.

The Atacama Desert, a coastal area where the borders of Chile, Peru, and Bolivia meet, was a region of little interest in the late nineteenth century until European research on the use of nitrates in fertilizers and explosives rendered the droppings of millions of sea birds a valuable commodity. In a move that echoed the California Gold Rush, the three neighboring countries soon battled for control of the region. In 1879, a comparatively modern and powerful Chile seized Bolivia's coastal province, and a secret alliance between Peru and Bolivia soon led to a full-scale war, one which saw the employment of much new military technology. Using such new weapons as the breech-loading rifle, rapid-fire cannon, ironclad warships, torpedoes, and electronic mines, Chile quickly crushed the allied armies, but a guerrilla war would drag on for years. While the three armies fought over some of the most inhospitable terrain imaginable, from burning, waterless deserts to snow-clogged mountain passes at 15,000 feet, their governments bumbled and wrangled. In the end, the lure of easy wealth undermined the economies of all three nations and served no good purpose when the market for nitrates soon evaporated, leaving all three much poorer for the experience.

The year 1879 marked the beginning of one of the longest, bloodiest conflicts of nineteenth-century Latin America. The War of the Pacific pitted Peru and Bolivia against Chile in a struggle initiated over a festering border dispute. The conflict saw Chile's and Peru's armored warships vying for control of sea lanes and included one of the first examples of the use of naval torpedoes.

Peru and Bolivia were decisively beaten by Chile during the War of the Pacific, 1879-1884 and as a direct consequence of this humiliating defeat they suffered extensive territorial losses, including the entire Bolivia coastline. The territories lost contained valuable nitrate and guano deposits, which were exploited by Chile, at a most fortuitous time for the rapidly-degenerating Chilean economy.Why should countries of similar colonial backgrounds which had co-operated in the defeat of Spanish forces in the early-mid nineteenth century, find themselves at war towards the end of that same century? This book attempts to answer this question, and also explain why the allied forces of Peru and Bolivia were defeated by Chile - even though contemporary commentators favored Peru as the stronger of the three, and consequently Chile was not expected to win in a conflict against Peru, especially when Bolivian forces were also aligned against them. The War of the Pacific was the first modern war to be fought in Latin America; the lessons of the American Civil War (1861-1865) and the Franco - Prussian War (1870-1871) appear to have been largely lost on Peru and Bolivia. It was a war dominated firstly by ironclad battleships, and then by rifled artillery, primitive machine-guns, the first modern infantry rifles, railways, and the telegraph. The battles (on land and at sea) are examined in detail; however, the key to the war was control of the sea, and once this had been lost to Chile, defeat for Peru and Bolivia was all but inevitable.The first part of this book examines the social structure, political institutions and economies of the three nations. It finishes with an analysis of the external political and diplomatic strategies of each nation, and the growing role played by the European powers (principally Great Britain), and the USA. It shows how the interlinked diplomatic strategies and economic objectives brought conflict ever - closer, and ultimately made it all but inevitable.Next the military capabilities of the three nations involved is examined: a comparison of the armed forces involved in the conflict, and the weaponry with which each side was equipped. This comparative analysis begins with an examination of the naval forces available to Peru and Chile - Bolivia had no navy, even when she still had a coastline.The last two parts of the book chart the progress of the war through two basic phases: (1) the Chilean occupation of the Bolivian littoral and town of Antofagasta and the subsequent naval campaigns, and (2) the Chilean land invasion of Peru, and then the progressive land campaigns that resulted in the capture of the capital, Lima. Whilst the war did not officially finish with the Chilean capture of Lima in 1881, this is the point at which the book concludes. From this point until the signing of the final peace treaty, the Chilean occupation forces were plagued by a very successful guerrilla campaign led by Colonel Andrés Cáceres, the most successful Peruvian field commander during the war.

"It's Getting a Bit Chile" is a set of tabletop rules written specifically for land battles during the Pacific War of 1879-1884, between Chile and an alliance consisting of Peru and Bolivia. Starting as a dispute over the taxation of mining rights, the "10 Cent War" was a protracted and brutal conflict that changed the face of Pacific Coast South America. Using a gridded playing area and innovative rules, "It's Getting a Bit Chile" enables games at a Divisional level and above, with the lowest level of resolution being battalion. The game has unique mechanisms devised specifically for the War and do not treat it simply as "Franco-Prussian War Lite". The author is a historian, wargamer and blogger who has written numerous sets of wargames rules and games. He produced several games for by the Society of Ancients as re-subscription incentives, when there was such a thing. His blog, "Wargaming for Grown Ups" contains more information on these rules, with photographs and reports of games in play. He also wrote "Northampton 1460" a board game of the Wars of the Roses battle of that name, which was published by the Northamptonshire Battlefields Society. He can usually be found on their stand at many wargames shows. More recently he went back to his roots as a historian and published "The Battle of Edgcote 1469 - Re-evaluating the evidence" to mark the 550th anniversary of the battle. It went on to win the Northamptonshire History Forum Award for best publication in 2019. "It's Getting a Bit Chile" is the second set of rules from the "Wargaming for Grown Ups" imprint, following on from the successful "To Ur is Human" Sumerian rules.

The War of the Pacific (Spanish: Guerra del Pacífico), also known as the Saltpeter War (Spanish: Guerra del salitre) was a war between Chile and a Bolivian-Peruvian alliance. It lasted from 1879 to 1884, and was fought over Chilean claims on coastal Bolivian territory in the Atacama Desert. The war ended with victory for Chile, which gained a significant amount of resource-rich territory from Peru and Bolivia. Chile's army took Bolivia's nitrate rich coastal region and Peru was defeated by Chile's navy.Book includes maps, scale plans, period drawing, and photos.
