	Tacna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tacna is a city in southern Peru and the regional capital of the Tacna Region.
		Tacna is one of the most patriotic cities in Peru, with many monuments and streets named after heroes of Peru's struggle for independence (1821-1824) and the War of the Pacific (1879-1883).
		Tacna lived a period of captivity for 50 years; the invaders started a campaign of "Chilenization", whose purpose was to convince the local population of accepting Chile as the new ruling power, and make them lose their Peruvian identity.

		At the Battle of Iquique (then in Peru, now in Chile), on May 21, 1879, the Peruvians suffered the loss of one of their best warships, the Independencia; the Huáscar was then sunk on October 8, and this eventual surrender of control of the sea permitted a Chilean army to land on the Peruvian coast.
		According to the terms of the Treaty of Ancón (Oct. 20, 1883), Peru turned over to Chile full possession of the province of Tarapacá and the administration for 10 years of the provinces of Tacna and Arica, after which a plebiscite was to determine their future sovereignty.

		In June/July 2004, two USF students returned to Tacna for three weeks to provide more technical support, training, and to help the teachers become more comfortable with using technology and integrating it into their classes.
