Although the conflict between Argentina and Chile had not yet spread to the saltpeter mining area, the British Empire had already paid close attention to it.
However, the situation had not yet escalated to the point of requiring intervention from the British Empire, and the Allies and the Covenant Nations merely issued statements urging both parties to exercise restraint.
Unfortunately, such a conflict was already beyond the control of both governments. The previous conflict had resulted in nearly a hundred casualties on both sides, causing Argentine and Chilean border forces to harbor deep animosity towards each other.
Under the tense atmosphere between both parties, on June 21, 1913, the second conflict took place.
Since the previous conflict, both sides had urgently deployed some weapons and equipment to the border areas to defend against potential attacks from the other side.
