How did Teodoro Picado help cause the Costa Rican Civil War in 1948?

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.


What country in 1948 was the first to abolish its army?

In 1948, Costa Rica became the first country to abolish its army. Following a civil war, the country decided to disband its military forces and instead invest in education and social programs. This move was part of a broader commitment to peace and democratic governance, which has since characterized Costa Rica's political landscape. As a result, Costa Rica is often cited as a model for peaceful coexistence and development without a standing army.
