- Yes, I like the idea
- Do we form a secret alliance?
- In the same year (1873)
- I will put a nitrate company in your territory, but it will pay you taxes.
- Okay, I accept.
- In the nitrate company in Antofagasta
- I'll charge her 10 cents more in tax
- What?, Why?, It's not fair
- Peru and Bolivia formed a secret defensive alliance.
- In 1879, for its part, Chile
- I will always fight next to Bolivia
- The existence of nitrate was discovered in the Atacama desert in Antofagasta, where Chile installed a nitrate company, paying taxes to Bolivia.
- Chile took the city of Lima, after winning the battles of Chorrillos and Miraflores.
- Bolivia raised its taxes by 10 cents and, despite the claims, they collected the taxes from the Chilean company.
- They fought to the end, but hope was lost with the defeat of the battle of Huamachuco.
- I will give you the lands of Tarapacá, and also Tacna and Arica for 10 years.
- Okay, it's a deal that suits me
- Under the pretext of the tax, the strategic alliance formed, the commercial interest of the saltpeter and Peru's refusal of neutrality, Chile invaded Antofagasta and declared war on us.
- So I declare war on you
- Will you defend Bolivia or do you support no one?
- Two important fights were fought, the Iquique fight and the Angamos fight, where Miguel Grau died.
- Finally, President Miguel Iglesias signed the Ancón treaty, where he ceded the lands of Tarapacá to Chile, and also to Tacna and Arica for 10 years.
- But please end the war.
