The little remembered Battle of Coronel was fought on November 1, 1914, off the coast of Chile in the Pacific, far away from the European battlefields. There the first British naval defeat in a century came to define the nature of sacrifice, and to exemplify the meaning of the term Pyrrhic victory.
