South America 86 years ago today: Chaco War (04 Jul 1933) https://buff.ly/2NxNVnL Bolivia and Paraguay were both left land-locked by the 19th century's wars in South America. Having lost substantial territory to their neighbors, their last major dispute was with each other over the semi-arid Chaco - a region rumored to hold significant oil reserves. Following increasingly frequent border clashes, war broke out between the two countries in 1932. #southamerica #history #welovehistory #welovemaps #map #1930s #20thcentury #modernhistory #1933 #bolivia #july #july4 #southamericanhistory #paraguay #chacowar #granchaco #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #cartography #geopolitics #chacodispute #guerra #guerradelchaco #mapa (at Gran Chaco) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzfSCaAAuO-/?igshid=1wm7mr3k6fs6m
