Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pacific War was the climax of the decades-long Wars of Liberation, and is one of the most important conflicts in South American history. After winning their independence from Spain in 1825, Peru and Bolivia became separate nations - but over the following years repeated attempts to re-unite them were frustrated by the neighboring powers, particularly Chile. By the 1870s Chilean military superiority and expansionist policies exploded into full scale conflict. This book examines the troops, uniforms and equipment used by forces on all three sides of the conflict and traces the events of the war from the early naval blockades to the full-scale amphibious landings undertaken by the Chilean forces. The war ended in total victory for Chile, and that country's emergence thereafter as 'the Prussia of South America', while it cost Peru a lucrative province, and Bolivia its outlet to the Pacific coast.

Book Synopsis Beyond Patriotic Phobias by : Joshua Savala
Download or read book Beyond Patriotic Phobias written by Joshua Savala and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2022-06-21 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The War of the Pacific (1879–1883) looms large in the history of Peru and Chile. Upending the prevailing historiographical focus on the history of conflict, Beyond Patriotic Phobias explores points of connection shared between Peruvians and Chileans despite war. Through careful archival work, historian Joshua Savala highlights the overlooked cooperative relationships of workers across borders, including maritime port workers, doctors, and the police. These groups, in both countries, were intimately tied together through different forms of labor: they worked the ships and ports, studied and treated disease transmission in the face of a cholera outbreak, and conducted surveillance over port and maritime activities because of perceived threats like transnational crime and labor organizing. By following the movement of people, diseases, and ideas, Savala reconstructs the circulation that created a South American Pacific world. The resulting story is one in which communities, classes, and states formed transnationally through varied, if uneven, forms of cooperation.

Book excerpt: "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.
