The Chilean Army took Bolivia's nitrate-rich coastal region, and Peru was defeated by the Chilean Navy. Fought over Chilean claims on coastal Bolivian territory in the Atacama Desert, the war ended with a Chilean victory, which gained for the country a significant amount of resource-rich territory from Peru and Bolivia.
The War of the Pacific (Spanish: Guerra del Pacífico), also known as the Saltpeter War (Spanish: Guerra del salitre) and by multiple other names, was a war between Chile and a Bolivian–Peruvian alliance from 1879 to 1884. Arica Province and Tacna Province occupied by Chile in 1884, Tacna returned to Peru in 1929.Tacna Region occupied by Chile in 1885, returned to Peru in 1925.Puna de Atacama ceded by Bolivia to Chile and Argentina in 18.Tarapacá Department ceded by Peru to Chile in 1884.Litoral Department (Antofagasta) ceded by Bolivia to Chile in 1904.This classic may yet see a remake or three in the future. Cruise himself centers and anchors the film with his portrayal of blue collar America who just wants for him and his family to survive the holocaust. That was sure the case with Tim Robbins who is quite mad on the subject of the invaders. I think Stephen Spielberg feels the way I do that a lot of these survivalists pray for their doomsday fantasy to come true. To that Spielberg adds survivalist Tim Robbins. The two had a scene avoiding the aliens while they were trapped in a cellar. The film does follow the Barry/Robinson escape scenario closely. The film as it was in 1953 is mostly concerned with their efforts to avoid the terrible tripod machines that the aliens use in their destructive path. But when danger develops it's his idea to take them from New York to Boston where their mother and maternal grandparents are. The kids are no prizes and are played by Justin Chatwyn and Dakota Fanning. Instead of having his protagonists be scientists as Gene Barry and Ann Robinson were in 1953, Tom Cruise is a blue collar divorced father who has his kids visiting him, but custody is with their mother Miranda Otto. He also did something else that possibly might have offended science fiction purists but I think gave the audience a better identification with the protagonists of the story. A lot of things that could not be done back in the 50s are done now to show the havoc that the invaders reek upon the world. Stephen Spielberg took the 1953 classic War Of The Worlds and remade it for modern times and the modern techniques of special effects.
