You'd think Brasil and Argentina would have had a serious war or something. But pretty much no Latin American nations have had serious wars, by my understanding. Is that true, and, if so, what explains it?

any coups are immediately followed by festivities w benders that cause people to forget what they were mad about in the first place.

fewer territorial disputes as topographical features like mountains and large rivers act as effective borders

Ukraine has neither so there you go

pretty sure they all had big wars in the past, now they are just narco states with massive CIA influence so wars between nations take a back seat

seems they used to have lots of wars like europe, see war of triple alliance

but post ww2 and esp post 1980 they settled down

become US colony during cold war, geography isnt conducive to wars, like there's huge mountains, amazon, distances between countries

they had more intl orgs like OAS or whatever beaners have thats like their EU

### Major Wars and Conflicts in South America

South America has experienced numerous conflicts, including wars of independence, interstate wars over borders and resources, and internal civil wars. Here are some of the most significant ones:

- **Spanish American Wars of Independence** (1810–1829): Series of revolutions leading to independence from Spain for most South American countries (e.g., Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Bolivia).

- **War of the Triple Alliance (Paraguayan War)** (1864–1870): Paraguay vs. Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay; one of the deadliest in Latin American history, devastating Paraguay's population.

- **War of the Pacific** (1879–1884): Chile vs. Peru and Bolivia over nitrate-rich territories; Chile victorious, Bolivia lost sea access.

- **War of the Confederation** (1836–1839): Chile and Argentine exiles vs. Peru-Bolivian Confederation.

- **Chaco War** (1932–1935): Bolivia vs. Paraguay over the Gran Chaco region; Paraguay gained most disputed territory.

- **Falklands War (Malvinas War)** (1982): Argentina vs. United Kingdom over the Falkland Islands; UK victory.

- **Cenepa War** (1995): Brief conflict between Ecuador and Peru over border disputes in the Amazon.

- **Internal Conflicts**: Numerous civil wars, such as Argentine Civil Wars (1814–1880), Uruguayan Civil War (1839–1851), Colombian civil wars (e.g., Thousand Days' War, 1899–1902), and ongoing insurgencies like the Colombian conflict (1960s–present) involving FARC and other groups.

Other notable border disputes include Ecuador-Peru conflicts (1941, 1981) and Colombia-Peru War (1932–1933).

### Major Wars and Conflicts in Central America

Central America (typically Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Belize) has seen fewer interstate wars but many civil wars, revolutions, and U.S. interventions.

- **Federal Republic of Central America Civil Wars** (1826–1840): Internal conflicts leading to the dissolution of the federation into independent states.

- **Football War** (1969): Brief war between El Salvador and Honduras over immigration and border issues.

- **Central American Crisis (1980s–1990s)**: Series of civil wars and revolutions influenced by Cold War dynamics and U.S. involvement.

- **Nicaraguan Revolution/Contra War** (1979–1990): Sandinista overthrow of Somoza dictatorship, followed by U.S.-backed Contra rebels.

- **Salvadoran Civil War** (1979–1992): Government vs. FMLN guerrillas; over 75,000 deaths.

- **Guatemalan Civil War** (1960–1996): Longest in the region; government vs. leftist guerrillas, including genocide against indigenous Maya; over 200,000 deaths.

- **Costa Rican Civil War** (1948): Brief conflict leading to abolition of the army.

- **U.S. Invasion of Panama** (1989–1990): Overthrow of Manuel Noriega.

Other events include filibuster wars (e.g., William Walker in Nicaragua, 1850s) and earlier independence struggles.

These lists focus on major armed conflicts; many countries also experienced coups, rebellions, and insurgencies. South and Central America have been relatively peaceful interstate-wise in recent decades compared to other regions, with diplomacy resolving many disputes.
