[edit] Objectives of the war

That "Scientific Expedition" was not a "try to recover their lost posesions". Spain had recognized Chilean independence years before that. And how they were going to reconquist Peru & Chile with a fleet? Climbing their ships inside land? This article is quite NNPOV --80.103.138.14 02:42, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Nobody disagrees with your facts. The article clearly states that the point of the expedition was "to try to reasert Spain's influence" in the area not to try to recapture its former colonies. Also, it's true that Spain had recognized Chilean independence in 1842, but it had never recognized Peru's independence, and this was one of the points of contention that gave rise to the diplomatic incident: sending a Royal Commisary (as for a colony) instead of a diplomatic representative, because Spain wanted to avoid an "implicit" recognition of Peruvian independence.

[edit] Conclusion of article

The end of this article is inconclusive in regard to the resolution of the war. --Cjs56 17:15, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

You are right. The conclusion has never been written. You are welcome to try your hand at it if you have the time. The negotiations between Spain and Chile ended in 1882, and with Peru much later, but I don't have the full information yet. Mel Romero 11:45, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
