In 1867, Brazil itself signed a treaty recognizing that the land belonged to Bolivia. In 1900, it returned it. Three years later, it paid 2 million pounds sterling to keep it. The map shows why no other state is like Acre.

In this video:
• The straight line from 1867 that said: Bolivia
• The myth of the horse
• The rivers that carried people from Ceará and the Northeast to the rubber plantations
• Luis Gálvez, Plácido de Castro and the Acrean Revolution
• The Treaty of Petrópolis and the Madeira-Mamoré Railway
• Chico Mendes, the geoglyphs and the giant alligator
• Acre as Brazil's gateway to the Pacific
