Thanks for the link because it helps proves the point I was trying to make.
Thus & hence proving my point! Nicaraguans are reclaiming & fighting for land that has been stolen from them by the Costa Ricans. Many people in these regions of Costa Rica that Nicaraguans dispute, have much more in common with or longstanding traditions & ways of being and behavior that are more in tune with Nicaragua.
It's only a matter of time before they may get their land back.
Panama is the second country in Latin America (the other being Costa Rica) to permanently abolish standing armies, leaving it with only small para-military forces.
Costa Rica has had it's share of issues but compared to other nations it's a lot more stable. Belize and Panama are some other nations within the "region" that seem to also likewise have stability compared to other nations.
Costa Rica has had a nasty habit of invading & taking other nations lands, and many people who lost lands not that long ago and their respective nations that were targets & victims of the wrongful loss are seeking to reclaim it. This is especially the case with Nicaragua & Panama. Both Nicaragua & Panama lost large integral chunks & portions of their land to Costa Rica
Costa Rica & Panama were ensconced and ensued in a violent bloody war and series of fights and battles over borders, land, disputes that took place in 1921. It was/is known as & called "Guerra De Coto". It affected the borders of both nations, and damaged relations for a long time between the two sovereign nations.
Something to consider about Costa Rica; Guanacaste region is historically part of Nicaragua, and many Nicaraguans still yearn for the annexation of it back into Nicaragua. Costa Ricans also stole land from the Panamanians in what is now the Puntarenas region, and led to a serious war known as Guerra de Coto. Many people in Puntarenas identify more with Panamanians, and are descendants of people that had been allied with & swore allegiance to the Republic of Panama. Many still identify more so with Panama today
