“…El ansia de poseer ilimitado o la avaricia natural de los seres humanos hace que, quienes dirigen y gobiernan una nación limitada en recursos naturales o viendo la posibilidad futura de que estos se puedan reducir, conduzcan a toda su población a la atroz experiencia de la guerra. Así pues, inician un conflicto por razones aparentemente absurdas, pero habiendo realizado cálculos y establecido -previa y subrepticiamente-alianzas económicas, políticas y militares, con poderosos intereses internacionales monopólicos, traicionando la confianza recíproca que debería respetarse entre países vecinos, rompiendo la concordia de los acuerdos recíprocos, haciendo realidad su oculto expansionismo territorial (Quiroz Norris, 1983).…”

El contexto internacional esta amenazado por una guerra que puede tener consecuencias, ya previstas y gravísimas, de manera directa e indirecta para todos los habitantes de nuestro planeta. Las primeras consecuencias ya las estamos sufriendo. Los seres humanos fuimos definidos como seres racionales y aptos para la vida política, hoy podemos añadir que también somos seres insensatos y descaradamente proclives a la guerra. Desde el pensamiento de historiadores y filósofos reconocidos deseamos aportar a la reflexión filosófica y a la formación humanística de quienes fueron, son y serán los directos responsables de la defensa y de los destinos de nuestra amada tierra: Los militares, el pueblo vistiendo el uniforme de la Patria.

Attempts to find social explanations for Peruvian economic backwardness have focused on the role of the elite's economic leadership between 1884 and 1930. Some of these studies consider the leading social class as an obstacle to economic growth. According to these interpretations the elite had, first of all, traditional ‘aristocratic’ or irrational economic behaviour.1 Secondly, the native elite's collaboration with international capital permitted foreign penetration adverse to national interests.2 Thirdly, in the 1884–1930 period, which was dominated by the export recovery after the War of the Pacific, an over-specialisation in export interests limited the elite's economic diversification, industrial capacity and financial decisions.3

The final decades of the nineteenth century were marked by diplomatic confrontations between Chile and the United States. In  the killing of US Navy sailors in a riot in Valparaíso threatened to provoke armed conflict, an event known as the Baltimore Crisis. This article investigates how William Russell Grace, the head of a merchant firm based in New York, played a central role in negotiating between Chile and the United States. By placing his activities in a transnational framework, Grace responded to the demands of multiple nation-states in the Americas. Observing changes in Grace's transnational economic infrastructure can help to identify larger long-term shifts in diplomacy and power on South America's Pacific coast in the late nineteenth century, especially Chile's emergence as a regional hegemon. The actions of Grace also raise larger questions regarding the power of business in the Americas in the late nineteenth century, especially with regard to growing US interests in the region.
