Latin American Wars 19001941 Summary

Latin American Wars 19001941: "Banana Wars," Border Wars & Revolutions by Philip Jowett

From the Mexican Revolution to the Zarumilla War, in the first 40 years of the 20th century the nations of Central and South America were frequently disturbed by border clashes, civil wars and revolution. Many of these conflicts became known as 'Banana Wars'. Some involved only lightly armed guerrillas, but others saw armies operating artillery and armoured vehicles, supported by aircraft and river navies. The conflicts in Honduras and Nicaragua saw the intervention of US Marines, and later wars involved armour and aircraft from the militaries of Europe. Using detailed colour plates and a wealth of contemporary photographs, this book shows the uniforms, equipment and strategies of the armies involved in these conflicts little known in the West. Covering wars crossing the length and breadth of the continent, this is the fascinating account of the wars that helped shape modern Latin America.

His first Osprey book was the ground-breaking Men-at-Arms 306: Chinese Civil War Armies 191149; he has since published the three-part sequence The Italian Army 194045 (Men-at-Arms 340, 349 and 353). He lives in North Lincolnshire, UK. Stephen Walsh studied art at the North East Wales Institute and has worked as a professional illustrator since 1988.
