Yes. Costa Rica has been in a war called the 'Costa Rican Civil War'.
Teodoro Picado did not cause or help cause the civil war of 1948 in Costa Rica. The real cause of the Civil War were the compromises into which Mr. Jose Figueres entered with persons who were not Costa Ricans but to which he offered Costa Rica as a base to topple their enemies if he, Figueres could topple the Government. This group came to be known as "The Caribbean Legion". Mr. Figueres created the pretext of fraudulent elections in 1948 in order to start the Civil War of 1948 When Picado finished his term on 8 May 1948, Mr. Figueres became the de facto President of Costa Rica, denying the election (???) of Mr. Ulate. Costa Rican scholars of the whole conflict have decided after an examination of the voting process the Mr. Calderon won the election.
Costa Rica has had a civil war, but never a war with other countries.
The Costa Rican Civil War was the bloodiest event in 20th century Costa Rican history. It lasted for 44 days (from March 12 to April 24, 1948), during which approximately 2,000 people are believed to have died. The conflict was precipitated by the vote of the Costa Rican Legislature, dominated by pro-government representatives, to annul the results of the presidential election of 1948, alleging that the triumph of opposition candidate Otilio Ulate had been achieved by fraud. This caused a rebel army under commander José Figueres to rise up against the government of President Teodoro Picado, which it quickly defeated. After the war, Figueres ruled for a year and a half as head of a provisional government junta which abolished the military and oversaw the election of the Assembly that produced the new Costa Rican Constitution of 1949. The junta then stepped down and handed power to Ulate. Costa Rica has not experienced any significant political violence since then.
abolished the army which paved the way for internal peace, national healthcare, higher rates of literacy and federally mandated education at the primary level as well as peaceful transitions between future leaders and the ending of the costa rican civil war (among other things of course)
