Literally've never seen one in my life. I only know that they have moved to Argentina by the millions in the last 30 years or so and that they're the reason why Argentina is an amerindian country beyond redemption
The peruvian Bolivian confederation was not an annexation
They build pic related unironically
Highest concentration of native Mesoamericans in all of South America, land locked, high elevation, probably named after Boliviar, cocaine plantations.

That's actually pretty cool.

Oh wait wrong country.
>They lose the Gran Chaco in a War against Paraguay in the XX century
Because Russians.
>Bolivian army had been trained and was led by German officers. In fact, the Chief of Staff of the Bolivian Army was a former German General Hans Kundt! The Bolivian army was a Latin version of the German army! They were dressed like the Germans, armed with German weapons, and trained and led by German officers! The majority of the Bolivian officer corps were combat experienced German officers. Paraguayans had nothing of a kind. So they recruited about 100 former Russian officers to fight for their country.
