Talk:Chincha Islands War

message: That "Scientific Expedition" was not a "try to recover their lost posesions". Spain had recognized Chilean independence years before that. And how they were going to reconquist Peru & Chile with a fleet? Climbing their ships inside land? This article is quite NNPOV --80.103.138.14 02:42, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Nobody disagrees with your facts. The article clearly states that the point of the expedition was "to try to reasert Spain's influence" in the area not to try to recapture its former colonies. Also, it's true that Spain had recognized Chilean independence in 1842, but it had never recognized Peru's independence, and this was one of the points of contention that gave rise to the diplomatic incident: sending a Royal Commisary (as for a colony) instead of a diplomatic representative, because Spain wanted to avoid an "implicit" recognition of Peruvian independence.

message: The end of this article is inconclusive in regard to the resolution of the war. --Cjs56 17:15, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You are right. The conclusion has never been written. You are welcome to try your hand at it if you have the time. The negotiations between Spain and Chile ended in 1882, and with Peru much later, but I don't have the full information yet. Mel Romero 11:45, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Spain fourth naval power? 

message: In the order of battle section the term "revolving cannon" is confusing.  The use of "revolving" appears in the 1880s for certain types of small caliber, rapid fire guns carried largely for anti-torpedo boat defense.  In English I believe the more correct term would be "pivot gun" as that was univerally used in the period to describe large caliber guns that could be pivoted on a single mounting to fire either to port and starboard or over a wider arc as a chase or stern gun. --Walterggreen3 (talk) 14:26, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Strength of beligerents? Men, ships, artillery? Casualties? If anyone knows or has access to this information, I think it would be very benificial to the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.245.91.170 (talk) 03:43, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

message: An interesting question to respond about this article is why the images are located in places outside the area they should be at. For example, the Chincha Islands guano image and the occupation image are all way below the sections they should be located at. Any ideas?--MarshalN20 | Talk 20:18, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

message: "Ironclad monitors - Loa – Built 1854"
The first Monitor was built in 1861. Maybe the Loa was built in 1864?--TDKehoe (talk) 15:32, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It was a conversion, using the hull of an existing ship. The conversion was ordered in 1864. I'll clarify.  • Astynax talk 18:15, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
