Bolivia is the poorest nation in South America. It also South America's only landlocked nation, and it stands to reason that these two facts are linked. I am very fond of Chile, but I do not agree with them on this. The Bolivian people would greatly benefit from a port on the Pacific, and they have a reasonable claim to the land in question.
