	United States and the Bolivian Sea Coast - Chapter 10 (Conclusions)
		The border demarcations of the new American republics were a heritage of the Spanish colonial rule.
		Although in some instances these border demarcations were not clear enough, in this particular case, they were indeed clearly set up to run along the Salado river, which was the colonial border between the Audiencia de Charcas and the Kingdom of Chile, and subsequently, became the international borderline between the republics of Bolivia and Chile.
		On the other hand, charts and diaries of American officers and sailors as well as consular communications bear witness to the fact that Bolivia exerted a recognized administrative jurisdiction and sovereignty over the province of the Atacama Littoral.
