Rare Earth Hey love your content, but the War of the Pacific is still pretty fresh with both countries Peru and Chile. There is still a bunch of propaganda from both governments even to this day. I suggest inquiring with Peruvians and Bolivians about the war because you'll get completely different accounts of the war. I'm Peruvians, that's my bias, I would hear horror stories of how Chile invaded Lima and took over the capital, a source of great national shame. In addition, the war crimes committed by their armies such as shooting dying bodies and non-soldiers. cavb.blogspot.com/2010/10/el-repase-de-heridos-peruanos-los.html?m=1 I don't know which stories are completely fabrications or partial truths, but this are the stories I would hear growing up. The information presented has a clear Chilean bias because Atacama was Bolivia's before the war and Peru was helping Bolvia regained their land back. I know is silly to complained about a war that happened 200 years ago, but Bolivians are still pretty upset because they lost access to the Pacific. There still much resentment even today which harms Peru-Chile relationship.

Really nice video, I hope you can go deeper on this topic. The war of the pacific is still a sensitive topic among peruvians. I would like to point out a particular part, where you mentioned that Chile had good relations with Britain. When Chile invaded they already had help from Britain (at least two ships), and I would think there was some britain's influence during the war. We were overpowered 10 to 1, Basadre has some good books on that topic.

@lolmandos 6 лет назад

If you just found a resource whose value completely overshadows every single other export you have together, you don't avoid exploring it because it would make your economy dependant on that resource. Heck, political interest won't even give you a chance to think too much about it.

@9786oof 6 лет назад

Mandos Aldmer in cases such as Saudi Arabia it is clear that eventually their export is going to run out so with world history like this countries with that sort of looming future need to make preparations for when everything goes bad, because it always will 🎵empires rise and empires fall; we have seen each other through it all🎵

@lolmandos 6 лет назад

Even Saudi Arabia is trying to diversificate their industry, and i'm pretty sure trying to modernize an industry over there must be politics hell. But you can't avoid the crash. It will come, and you will need every bit of a cushion that you can get. Chile has been through some rough times since then, but today Chile is arguably the most developed country in South America. Countries are aware that sitting on a timebomb isn't ideal, but sometimes it's the best place to be.

@9786oof 6 лет назад

Mandos Aldmer I agree! This history is really sad but if we're careful no one will have to go through it again to this degree because of places like here and Nauru teaching us thoroughly

@andgainingspeed 6 лет назад

Mandos Aldmer It may be a worse scenario than just running out. The world will likely move on from oil based energy to much more efficient / cheaper energy sources well before oil runs out. Oil exporters know that. So if you know that you have to decide how to strike a balance between getting the right price and just pumping as much as possible before your product turns into a tiny niche of the overall energy market. Just as "big oil" starts to diversify their portfolios, countries like Saudi Arabia need to diversify their economies. Unfortunately for their citizens, The Saudi leadership seems likely to make only symbolic efforts, then simply fly away when things collapse. If you think things are bad in the Middle East now, wait until oil collapses.

Awesome video! Just a side note however, normal saltpeter is Potassium Nitrate; while the "Chilean saltpeter" is Sodium Nitrate. You guys nailed it, but a useful distinction. The saltpeter from most organic sources (such as Guano or poop) is Potassium Nitrate. Chilean saltpeter is hydroscopic which means it will absorb water over time, while the normal saltpeter does not.

@korakys 6 лет назад

Today a similar situation exists with Morocco, which controls most of the global phosphorus industry. Phosphorus is very important for fertilizing fields, perhaps second only to nitrates. Morocco invaded, occupied, and annexed neighbouring Western Sahara, a major phosphorus region. Oh yeah, the main alternative source of phosphorus? You guessed it, fresh poop. The parallels are striking.

(:45) - “almost no vegetation, life here is hidden in the corners”. ~ While it is true that much of the Atacama Desert appears to be a barren wasteland most of the time, as with almost everywhere on Earth it is teeming with life. There are over 500 species of plants found there. They have adapted to the extreme conditions by various means. Many lie dormant as seeds or bulbs for years and burst into life when sufficient rainfall occurs, as sometimes happens during an ‘el nino’ event. This is the famous ‘desert bloom’ , which also occurs in other deserts. It’s incredibly beautiful, especially when contrasted to this lands more typical appearance.

@Chuck59ish 6 лет назад

We went through the same thing here in New Brunswick with Potash. PotashCorp of Saskatchewan came to New Brunswick offering jobs and other good things if the could open a potash mine. The main problem was the water table, the locals lost their water in their wells and the water coming out of the potash mine was salty. So eventually because of the American and Australian potash mines under cutting their competition the bottom fell out the potash industry in New Brunswick. The mines were allowed to flood and PotashCorp went home, although they still do export potash through the Port of Saint John, they send around 126 rail car load to Saint John about twice a month or so. And with the mines flooded, they have found a cheap source of geothermic heat for the area to cut back on the use of fuel oil, natural gas and wood for heating homes in the cold months. Here in New Brunswick, in bad years we can have cold months from November through to March where the temperature will get as low as -40 C for about 6 weeks, and even though we have the largest single oil refinery in Canada in the area, we pay some of the highest oil prices in Canada too. But we have gone to physical war yet, but we've suffered through a few bouts of stock market wars because our provincial government pegs it's oil prices on the New York commodities exchange, so a fire in refinery in Wisconsin can driver our gas and diesel prices up by 15 cent a liter, as has happened this week, and we get nothing from the refinery in Wisconsin.

I wrote a short paper in college about the saltpeter war (Guerra del Pacífico). It's truly fascinating. Anyone who's interested (including the fabulous creator of this video [assuming he didn't already in preparing this video]) should read _The Ten-Cents War_ by Bruce W. Farcau. The whole thing is fascinating. It's kinda sad that Bolivia and Peru lost their territory, but they were seriously underprepared. Chile's military capabilities were probably the best in South America at the time. Another interesting thing is that this war and the US Civil War are sometimes considered the first "modern" wars because of how they were fought; we were still fighting the old way (à la how we did in Napoleonic times) but with modern weapons that we weren't ready for. …Basically, similar to how WWI is often described, with people charging on horseback into machine-gun fire. People at the time just didn't know what they were getting themselves into.
