Day of the Sea
Bolivia's annual Day of the Sea seems like an unusual commemoration for a landlocked nation.
Every year on March 23, crowds of Bolivians gather in the capital, La Paz, to remember a painful event in Bolivian history-the loss of the country's coastal territory to Chile in 1884.
Ever since, the two neighboring countries have been engaged in a bitter dispute over 【an area】 separating present-day Bolivia from the Pacific Ocean.

When Bolivia declared independence from Spain in 1825, it established a port on the coastline of 【the Atacama Desert】, a mostly uninhabited 【region】 bordered by Chile, Peru, and Bolivia.
Chile, which had gained independence six years earlier, had a competing claim to 【the area】, but did not stress the point at first.
When 【the desert】 proved to be rich in nitrate-a raw material for explosives and fertilizers-Chile pressured Bolivia into signing an 1866 treaty that split 【the region】 in half. Anger among the Bolivian public rose as Chile's strong economy, as well as its alliances with British and American companies, allowed it to aggressively exploit 【the desert's】 resources.
To counter Chile's growing influence, Bolivia taxed Chilean companies working in the Bolivian part of 【the territory】.
The dispute escalated into the War of the Pacific, which ended in 1883, when Chile took the entire 【region】 by force.
