The War of the Pacific - 1879 - 1883. Chile fought Peru and Bolivia for control of the northern Atacama Desert. Chile won. To this day, Bolivia is demanding that the area be returned to Bolivia. They even have a national holiday called the "Dia del Mar" or "Day of the Sea."

Is the country Chile on good terms with other countries?

Yes it does. Most, though not all, stem from the War of the Pacific between Peru, Bolivia who united against Chile. The majority of this particular dispute arises in the fact that a treaty was signed which removed Bolivia's access to the pacific ocean, and which also resulted in Chile retaining resource rich sector of the Atacama desert previously held by Peru. Although this war was more than 100 years previously, certain specific matters are either before the international courts now (with Peru) or are planned (with Bolivia). There is no active dispute with Argentina, but neither is there any camraderie between the two countries as Chile actively supported England during the Falkland/Malvinas conflict. Also, Chile and Argentinas settlement of the border at the extreme southern portion of South America is loved by neither country.
