Bolivian Navy by Fabio Cuttica on XL Semanal
Monday, 25 January 2010
Most countries without shorelines have given up the idea of having a navy. Bolivia is the exception, having lost its access to the ocean in 1884 but not the idea of keeping a navy. In 1879 Chile declared war against Peru and its ally Bolivia. Thus began the War of the Pacific, which ended with Peru and Bolivia on the losing end. Nowadays, Bolivia and Peru share a huge, navigable lake, the Titicaca.
The issue of a Bolivian access to the sea is a hoary problem. For many years the Bolivian and Chilean governments have been trying to find a solution as it would allow many benefits, not only under an economic point of view, to Evo Morales’ country. In spite of this, the Navy is considered a serious Institution, respected in the whole Bolivia: it is also the pride of the nation, joined by more than 15,000 people among midshipmen and naval officers.
The reportage shot by Fabio Cuttica has been published on XL Semanal.
