Chilenization of Tacna, Arica and Tarapacá describes a process of transculturation or acculturation in the zones (Tacna, Arica and Tarapacá) which were incorporated or occupied by Chile since the War of the Pacific (1879-1883). The aim of the Chilenization was to create a dominance of Chilean traditions and culture in preference to those of Peru.
