Since they were the parts of their respective colonial empires and even after that when they became independent, in early 1800s, both nations mistrusted each other. The element of competition was always there in their relations. 1825 WAR In 1825 Argentina and Brazil went to a war over the area present day known as Uruguay. This was the direct armed conflict between the two nations. The war started when Uruguay revolutionary group “Thirty-three Immortal” declared Banda Oriental (Uruguay) independent from Brazil.
And that tactic is called the element of surprise. On his final expedition to Peru, his main objective was to conquer the Incan Empire which had a little over thirty-thousand warriors. Of course Pizarro was aiming high but at the same time, he was so confident that the upcoming battle would be a breeze, that he only brought with him two-hundred men and about sixty horses. So he was outnumbered, out supplied, and not savvy with the landscape of Peru. So again I ask the question a little bit differently.
Diamond conflicts began with a small, yet important, discovery of a “pretty pebble” along the banks of the Orange River in South Africa in 1867 (Saari 1). After the discovery, miners then found a prosperous diamond field in present-day Kimberly, South Africa. Diamond conflicts then began when word of the discovery was spread from Africa to England. British settlers rushed to Africa in hopes of discovering diamonds. Conflicts fueled between the English settlers and the Boers about the diamond fields.
Allende´s goal of the socialization of Chile accelerated the nationalization of the copper industry and the agricultural reforms previously started by Frei Montalva. Also, under Allende, the central government took control over the bigger industries and banks. This lack of success under Allende’s administration was also a result of the intensification of the opposition’s acts against his policies, which later resulted in his overthrowing in 1973. The Coup d’état in Chile in 1973 was led by Salvador Allende´s Commander in Chief, Augusto Pinochet. This movement, which involved the armed forces of Chile and the Carabineros – the police forces of the country – was also influenced by the democratic party Partido Nacional Democracia Cristiana.
They would kick the Indian out of their land and take it for their own, The United States quickly became one of the twentieth century’s most powerful nations after settling more than three million square miles of rich, diverse land. But despite all the riches it came at a great cost and destruction to the American Indians. The warfare between the US and the Indians began as early as 1809 and lasted until 1890, to which the Indians losing and being forced to live on reservations. Despite military involvement in early wars with the Indians, the final conquest was the white settlers wrestling land from them. One conflict was the gold rush of 1849, where some gold was found in what is now California, and millions of settlers went west to get rich on gold, and in the process fought with the Spanish who lived out there, and then killed many Indians who also settled in that land.
Both countries, after centuries of immigration and emigration, have populations where only about 50% (52.6% in Puerto Rico and 55% in Bolivia) of people are of Amerindian heritage. Both have histories of Spanish colonization. In 1493, Christopher Columbus landed on the shores of Puerto Rico and claimed it as a Spanish colony, 30 years later, Francisco Pizarro, did the same to the Incan Empire which dominated Eastern South America; at the time, Bolivia was part of Peru. Today, both nations have a rich variety of culture and tradition. Puerto Rico and Bolivia are cultures rich in fine art of all forms.
The only documented inhabitants of Uruguay before European colonization of the area were the Charrua, a small tribe driven south by the Guaraní of Paraguay. There have also been identified examples of ancient rock art, at locations such as Chamangá, and elsewhere. The Spanish arrived in the territory of present-day Uruguay in 1516, but the people's fierce resistance to conquest, combined with the absence of gold and silver, limited settlement in the region during the 16th and 17th centuries. Uruguay became a zone of contention between the Spanish and the Portuguese empires. In 1603 the Spanish began to introduce cattle, which became a source of wealth in the region.
Cattle ranching contributes greatly to the demise of the amazonian rainforest. In Brazil, small-scale agriculture represents one third of the rainforest lost per annum. Mother Nature plays her own part in the deforestation of the Amazon using fires, droughts and tropical storms. In Columbia, the rainforest is mostly destroyed by poor farmers trying to make drug plantations. They do this because it generates more income than any other crop.
Growth jumped to 7.5% in 2007, driven by higher world prices for minerals and metals.” ((Peru) n.d.) Peru is known for a great fishing industry as well and this also provides resources for its citizens. Peru is not known for its military. About a half a million people of Peru, ages 16-49 are in the military and it splits almost half male and female. Peru’s
The Falklands War: Crisis in Great Britain March 23, 2011 Introduction The Falklands War of 1982 embodied a military conflict that lasted 74 days between Great Britain and Argentina regarding the ownership of the Falkland Islands. The Islands had been a dependency of Britain since 1833 when Britain took possession from Argentina and later declared them as a colony in 1842. The Argentines had always resented Britain for taking what they believed belonged to them (BBC News 2011b). After Argentina was granted independence from Spain in 1816, they claimed all of Spain’s previous colonies and took possession of the Falklands in 1820. In 1965, the UN classified the Falklands “as a colonial problem” and urged Britain and Argentina to find a solution.
