From the beginning of the twentieth century through 1941, Latin
America was involved in a number of conflicts and revolutions, many
of which escalated into what could truly be called wars. Border
disputes and domestic insurrections shaped the history of this area
as many countries made the rocky transition from agrarian to
industrial societies. Beginning with the War of the Thousand Days,
this volume provides a concise survey of Latin American wars
between 1899 and 1941. It compares and contrasts the wars and
considers them in light of military theory. It also demonstrates
how instrumental wars have been in directing the history of Latin
America. Only major conflicts between two distinct parties (with
one numbering at least a thousand people) and involving sustained
combat with significant deployment of troops and an eventual victor
have been included. Wars addressed include border disputes in Peru,
Bolivia, Panama and Costa Rica, and domestic revolutions in
Colombia, Cuba, Mexico and Nicaragua. The effect of U.S. influence
and industrialization is also discussed. Numerous photographs and
maps are also included.
