During this conflict, one side's army had two females appointed as canteen carriers or medics in each regiment, including figures like the 13-year old Irene Morales, who rose up military ranks after trying to pass as male. Partly chronicled by native historian Benjamin Mackenna, this conflict involved the failed expedition of Ambrosio Letelier, whose soldiers were all court- martialed for illegal profiteering. Prior to that expedition, the fighting was nearly ended when minister Isaac Christiancy organized the Lackawanna Conference, but the losing side's demands for territory led to a retaliatory raid by the "Red Prince" Patricio Lynch. Miguel Grau became the hero of the battle at Cape Angamos, while the Esmeralda was sunk at the Battle of Iquique during this conflict. This war saw a clash over the provinces of Tacna and Arica and was partly ended by the Treaty of Ancon in 1883. For 10 points, name this war where the forces of Bolivia and Peru lost to Chile.
