Must be one of the weirdest monuments I've seen. Bolivia lost its coastline to Chile in 1884 and have been hoping to get it back ever since. The message is "that which was once ours, will be ours once again", but I guess there is no stronger message than having a dude in sandals bayoneting the other guy in the throat.

The script at the bottom of the monument actually reads something like 'Hang on broken ones, for here come the Colorados from Bolivia'
