built 646 days ago
Climate Due to the altitude, the climate in Bolivia is fairly temperate with cold nights and warm days. Temperatures get down to freezing on winter nights. Rain is likely over the summer months (November to March).

Bolivia is extraordinarily rich in natural resources, yet severe, widespread rural poverty creates stresses on the environment as the poor exploit these resources in an unsustainable manner. Water pollution and soil erosion and degradation are widespread and serious. The GOB lacks the capacity to effectively manage these resources; therefore, communities and the private sector must take on a larger and more responsible role.

Following the independence of Peru, General Gamarra, the Peruvian president, invaded Bolivia, under the Peruvian flag. The Peruvian army was decisively defeated at the Battle of Ingaví on November 20, 1841, where General Gamarra himself was killed. The Bolivian army under General José Ballivián then mounted a counter-offensive managing to capture the Peruvian port of Arica. Later, both sides signed a peace in 1842 putting a final end to the war.
