This kind of answers the question about why theres no United States Of South America.
Cuz of hate.
For some reason.
Youd think they woulda reached a compromise over this (esp no ocean for Bolivia. Its odd to me how these states, which essentially are identical entities could not cooperate.
I wonder if it has something to do with Social Capital (northern vs southern European cultures) as described in the Rivals book by Bill Emmott.

Chile in 1902: I got the Strait of Magellan to the south! And I got the nitrate deposits to the north! My future as a regional power is assured!
Narrator: In 1914 the United States opened the Panama Canal, making the Strait of Magellan strategically unimportant. After World War One, Germany revealed to the world how to turn nitrogen from the air into fertilizer, making the price of natural nitrate plummet. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

Buena tarde y buen video queria comentar que el ultimo territorio en ser devuelto a peru, los territorios y ciudad de tacna, fueron cedidos tras un plebiscito en el cual eligieron seguir siendo peruanos. EEUU superviso pero, decir que forzaron la devolucion es una forma muy resumida de ver el asunto.
Gracias por hablar de Chile.

You’ll notice Bolivar’s picture on the wall in one scene but in truth, it would’ve been Jose San Martin, who did what Boliver did but for Chile and Argentina. Because of politics he was unceremoniously booted from the continent and lived the rest of his life in Europe, outliving Bolivar by two decades.

I always find it fascinating how many territorial borders are defined by geography. Like, sometimes you think it’s because of super intense political machinations or brutal warfare, but then it ends up just being like nope, there were mountains there.

On of the best parts, for me, of these videos is it explains why some of the land claims exist in Kaiserreich.
Very helpful. Now if you will excuse me I think I need to go start a new game to reclaim Chile's righful lands.
For peace.

The borders in south america are sone of the most natural borders in the world. All our borders run through rivers, mountains, or dense jungles.
They may look weird but they ensure we don't fight for stuff anymore.
Except venezuela.

1: 52 Fun fact: Chile's victory deprived Bolivia of any coastline, but rather than reconcile itself to this loss, the Bolivian government maintains a navy to this day in the hope that they will one day regain access to the sea.

Before I watch: because of the Andes.
After watching: okay, it was a little more complicated than that, but I was right. And that story about the French king of Patagonia deserves a video in its own right.

2: 13 The frontier to the south with Argentina wasn't completely well defined by the treaty (1881, which became a source of tension later on. A better division had to be made later with British arbitration (1902.

After the war the peruvian border was supposed to be settled by a plebiscite in the disputed territory, but the plebiscite never took place, thats why Chile was preasured to give back Tacna to Peru

The funny thing about the chunk returned to Peru, it was meant to be returned after about 10 years I think, but due to other problems the territory remained under Chile until the 20th century

If there's an underrated part of history it's South American independence. From independence to maybe 1880 South America was almost a mini Europe with all the land claims and wars.

I’m guessing this video came out because of the new hearts of iron DLC drop in a few days. And hats off for that because I was actually really curious about this lol.

Fun fact: The oddly shape of Chile is the first lesson of geography that every Chilean has in elementary school. That's why it is somehow a thing of pride in the country.

Also, does Chile have like one super long railroad or highway reach from one end to the other That'd be a fun road trip

Emperor Tigerstar did a good video on the wars of Chile. It included the Mapuche conflict. It's weird learning history when you've been out of school for over a decade.
