| 4 | '''The Chincha Islands War''' (1864-1866) was a conflict between UsefulNotes/{{Spain}} and its former colonies UsefulNotes/{{Peru}} and UsefulNotes/{{Chile}}. Spain recognized Chile’s independence and they had a nice relationship, but they didn’t recognize Peru’s independence and wanted to charge them unpaid fees. When Peru didn’t want to pay them, Spain took over the Chincha Islands, a bunch of islands containing rich deposits of guano. |
