What country in South America is totally landlocked?
There are two landlocked countries in South America, Paraguay and Bolivia. Bolivia lost their outlet to the sea to Chile in 1883, 1879 was when the war started. “Then in the War of the Pacific (1879–83) against Chile, it lost its access to the sea, and the adjoining rich nitrate fields, together with the port of Antofagasta. Since its independence, Bolivia has lost over half of its territory to neighboring countries in wars. It also lost the state of Acre (known for its production of rubber) when Brazil persuaded the state of Acre to secede from Bolivia in 1903 (see the Treaty of Petrópolis).” The map of the region they lost. The one on the left shows where it is in Chile, the one on the right shows the region. http://upload.wikimedia.
