Unraveling a historic boundary dispute between Costa Rica and New Granada

A meticulous examination of treaties, proclamations, and political maneuvering that shaped Central American borders in the 19th century. The analysis ties together colonial charters, regional conflicts, and international interests to explain how frontiers were drawn and defended.

In this edition, you’ll explore how early charters defined coastlines, the rise and fall of regional unions, and the roles of major powers in determining who controls strategic rivers and ports. It presents the sequence of events, the legal arguments, and the practical outcomes as nations navigated competing claims.

Key boundary claims and how they emerged from old provincial borders
Influence of treaties, diplomacy, and foreign powers on territorial questions
The shifting status of the Mosquito coast and its impact on regional control
A historical view of Costa Rica’s annexation and its effect on neighbors

Ideal for readers of historical diplomacy, Central American history, and boundary disputes, this edition provides a clear, document-driven look at a complex era.
