Question

Providing examples of Latin America, discuss any geographic features of a country that might lead to a conflict with another country

Answer 1

Bolivia and Paraguay are both landlocked countries. In the past (late 19th century and the protracted Chaco War between Bolivia and Paraguay, which ended in the mid-1930s) access to the sea was an issue that led to, or contributed to, war. 19th century Bolivia had a narrow and hard to defend outlet to the Pacific which was lost when Peru and Chile combined to defeat Bolivia (and then fought each other about divisiion of the territory, particularly control of the nitrate-rich desert which conferred an important commodity positon in the world fertillizer market). Later, one of the contributing factors in the Chaco War was the effort to maintain or establish a dominating positiion in the river route to the Atlantic.

Answer 2
