Abstract
The Chaco War was one of the biggest war conflicts of the 20th century in Latin America due to the problem of the undefined border limits between Paraguay and Bolivia. Despite the attempts of negotiations between the two countries, it was not possible to avoid the outbreak of war, which led both countries to confront each other for 3 years in the Chaco area, an uncertain place with terrible conditions, facing all kinds of suffering. Before, during, and after the war, different countries were involved, as well as institutions dedicated to peacekeeping; however, the war was inevitable. The study is a qualitative research of documentary, hermeneutic design. It studies the negotiations developed by diplomatic institutions for the solution of the conflict and to what extent they were able to influence the countries to sign a peace agreement. The model of diplomatic strategy of the cease line of the landmarks with the promise of compensation of territories on the part of Paraguay, was the one that allowed Bolivia to accept the agreement, and finally, it is this adopted strategy with which the final settlement that puts an end to the conflict of the Chaco War in 1938 is achieved.
