The Chilean soldier on the left holds in his arms the robberies carried out in Iquique and Tarapacá; the one on the right carries in a basket the product of thefts in the Peruvian territories of Pisagua, Dolores, Agua Santa, Pozo Almonte, and La Noria and in the Bolivian towns of Cobija and Tocopilla. The illustration was published in the Chilean newspaper El Barbero, edition of December 16, 1879. In 1879, Peru suffered a war of aggression and territorial conquest planned in advance by the Republic of Chile. Many are aware that the Peruvian territory was dismembered with the robbery of Tarapacá and Arica (49 thousand square kilometers). However, what is not remembered is that what was witnessed in the Saltpeter War, between 1879 and 1884, constituted a crime against humanity committed by the Chilean government and armed forces. It was also an expression of racist repudiation against Peru, a nation of cholos, mestizos and Indians. To carry it out, the Chilean government acquired the necessary experience "pacifying" the Araucanía and canceling the lives of thousands of indigenous settlers, original inhabitants of Chile itself.
The actions in which the Chilean troops were involved during the invasion of Peru constitute a horrendous crime:genocide. Violating the Geneva Convention of 1864 and the Brussels Declaration of 1874, Chilean troops coldly murdered wounded Peruvians. Shouting “death to the cholos”, they were proud of “taking no prisoners”. Thousands of Peruvians perished "reviewed" by the invading rifles. Citizens of all conditions, homes, towns, authorities, institutions, companies and churches were raped, harassed, humiliated, looted, deported, murdered and destroyed by the occupation troops, who happily and consciously sent the loot of the robbery to Chile. Chile even killed Peruvian sailors who thirteen years before – with their lives and their ships – had protected it from Spanish aggression. Among them stands out the name of Miguel Grau, whom history remembers as the Knight of the Seas, for his respect and humanity with the vanquished. Contrasting with the greatness of Grau is the misery of the southern generals who ordered the "review" of the wounded, the shooting of the prisoners and the looting of the Peruvian towns. The sad situation of a country whose main military heroes are war criminals who tainted their record of service with crimes against humanity, atrocities and robberies committed in Peru.
The one-armed Chilean general Erasmo Escala Arriagada approaches land carrying the product on his shoulders of the robberies and looting perpetrated in Peru. The illustration was published in the Chilean newspaper El Barbero, edition of November 29, 1879. Even thirty and forty years after 1879, in the first decades of the 20th century, when Chile occupied Tacna and Arica, the official policy of that government –known as “Chileanization”– violated and even murdered the Peruvians who in that land, their own land, raised the flag of Bolognesi, Grau and Cáceres and refused to adopt Chilean nationality. The conduct we describe illustrates our common past. It is history that cannot be erased. It transposes the past and problematizes the future. For Peruvians, it is a lesson that we must keep in mind, not only out of patriotism and dignity, but also out of a mere instinct for national conservation in the face of a country whose arrogant motto is that things are done "by reason or by force." they sincerely want the future to unite our two nations, if they really want the past not to divide us, the fundamental condition of this process is to recognize the historical responsibility of Chile in the genocide, territorial dismemberment and looting of Peru. The first step in a true reconciliation between our two nations is for Chile to publicly apologize to the Peruvian people for its conduct and criminal actions during the war it declared in 1879 and to offer the reparations that history demands. For the above actions to take place, It is essential that the people of Chile become aware of the seriousness and extent of the crimes committed between 1879 and 1884. The following articles have been written so that Chileans know about the looting, robbery and other abuses committed in their name, against the Peru and the Peruvians, during the Saltpeter Conflict. All of them are supported by Chilean documentary evidence that demonstrates the responsibility of the southern country in the execution of the aforementioned war crimes.
