Monument with statue of Eduardo Abaroa ( a hero of the Pacific War), San Pablo de Tiquina, Lake Titicaca, Bolivia
Colonel Eduardo Abaroa Figeroa led a civilian resistance against Chilean forces at the Battle of Topáter on 23rd March 1879, the first combat of the War of the Pacific. Abaroa refused to surrender to the Chilean forces after the Bolivian military withdrew and was killed in the battle. He is Bolivia's main national hero from the War as a result of his defiance. The painting on the side of the monument shows a member of Bolivia's Los Colorados regiment bayonetting a Chilean soldier. Above the painting is the slogan "Lo que un dia fue nuestro, nuestro otra vez sera" or "What one day was ours will be ours again" - a reference to Bolivia's belief that one day it will regain sovereign access to the Pacific Ocean.
