[EAN: 9781331225324], Neubuch, [PU: Forgotten Books, United Kingdom], Language: English. Brand new Book. Excerpt from The Liquidation of the War on the Pacific: Nitrate and the War; A Fantastic Indemnity; The Government of Chili and the Creditors of Peru; The Question of Arica and Tacna; The Relations Between Chili and Bolivia; What Chili Spends on Armament If it were not so manifest that the object of this writer is to excite artificially the sympathies of foreign nations in favour of Peru, it would be difficult to explain how his national susceptibilities had so confused his judgment when narrating events which took place about twenty-two years ago, as such a lapse of time should have been sufficient to allow the most ardent passions to cool down. But he goes SO far as to declare that Chili had been preparing for a long time prior to 1879 with the deliberate purpose of declaring war against Peru in order to seize its rich deposits of nitrate of soda. It is necessary, therefore, to set forth the actual historical facts in a few words. As the con?ict actually began by a dispute relating to the nitrate trade, some points relating to that industry will be quite in place here, as its development and the events of the war were closely connected.
