negotiations. However, Chile then received protests from creditor nations of Europe,
including Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Italy. All states protested the
terms of debt provision that Chile was going to impose on Peru. Chile responded by
telling Peru that it was going to remobilize and to prepare for another occupation of
Lima. Lima panicked and immediately ratified the Treaty of Ancon—the peace treaty
that ended the War of the Pacific, which was signed in October 1883. The following
points are important: Chile got Tarapaca “unconditionally and forever” and occupied
Tacna and Arica for 10 years. The matter was ultimately resolved by a compromise
in 1929 that was brokered by Herbert Hoover. Chile kept Arica and Peru kept Tacna.
Protests from Europe ensued but did not materialize in any threat.
