This war was fought between Bolivia and Paraguay for control over the Gran Chaco region (Wallace, 12). The reason why this was important to Bolivia is because they lost their access to the Pacific Ocean to Chile and control over the area near the Paraguay River would give them access to the Atlantic Ocean ("The Chaco War"). This war was a Paraguayan victory (Wallace, 13). The Paraguayan leader in the war was José Félix Estigarribia (Wallace, 12).
