Past conflicts between Chile & Peru have generated negative perceptions of each other. Chile emerged victorious from the Pacific War & developed excessive national pride, seeing itself as conqueror & Peru as conquered. The spread of Chilean capital into Peru exacerbated Peruvians' image of Chile as an arrogant invader & the loss of territory to Chile from the war remains an open wound. Per a 2002 survey, about a third of Chile's population sees armed conflict with Peru as a possibility. Changing the negative images of the other country will occur only with long-term cultural change. 1 Table, 2 Figures. M. Pflum
