Tacna, Peru

The Battle of Tacna, also known as the Battle of the Peak of the Alliance , effectively destroyed the Peru-Bolivian alliance against Chile, forged by a secret treaty signed in 1873.

The battle took place at the Inti Urqu hill plateau, a few miles north of the Peruvian city of Tacna. As a result, Bolivia was knocked out of the war, leaving Peru to fight the rest of the war alone.
