Bolivia – Brazil
Located in Western South America, Bolivia is a sovereign nation. Officially, it is referred to as the Pluractional State of Bolivia. Bolivia is ranked as the fifth-largest state in South America. The landlocked nation has a total area of 424,164 square miles. The nation upholds solid ties with both its neighbors and other countries, such as Brazil.
On its eastern side, Bolivia and Brazil are separated by a long border. The distance between Bolivia and Brazil is about 2,127 miles. The frontier between the two nations travels through a variety of landscapes, including dense tropical woods, severe desert terrain, and urbanized areas. Relations between Bolivia and Brazil have occasionally been tense. The two neighbors in Latin America engaged in conflict over a plot of productive land in the Amazon basin around the turn of the 20th century. Bolivia selling the territory to Brazil in 1903 led to a resolution of the dispute.
Bolivia and Brazil were embroiled in a contentious disagreement in 2006 over Bolivia's proposal to nationalize its energy sector. Authorities in Brazil were worried that Petrobras, a Brazilian energy corporation operating in Bolivia, would not receive appropriate compensation under the proposals for nationalization. Brazil and Bolivia resolved their conflict in February 2007 in an effort to strengthen regional integration.
