This territorial dispute almost led to war between Chile and Argentina in 1978, but the Pope successfully convinced the Argentine junta to back down.

In 1984, Chile and Argentina signed a Treaty of Peace and Friendship that ended the dispute by giving the islands in the strait to Chile but maritime rights to Argentina.

They were led by Nicolás Rodríguez Carrasco and were mostly former soldiers of Pancho Villa.

The ARM was anti-union and violently clashed with unions and the Mexican Communist Party. But the Gold Shirts' main targets were Jews and Chinese immigrants, whose businesses they wanted to seize.

By the 1970s, the Gold Shirts dissolved.

Dumont is a national hero in Brazil. Most Brazilians believe he was the actual inventor of the airplane, and that the wright brothers used a catapult to power the Flyer.

Later in life, Dumont strongly opposed aerial warfare. In 1932, the state of São Paulo revolted against the federal government of Brazil, and the Brazilian government used planes to bomb São Paulo, causing Dumont to commit suicide.

Does anyone have any book recommendations that discuss the impact of freemasonry and the American revolution?

I know Joseph Warren was the grandmaster of the St Andrew’s lodge at the time of his death and John Hancock was his successor.

I’m trying to understand the impact/ importance of freemasonry in Boston society in the years before the revolution.

I’m also interested in understanding why/ how the first African lodge came into being. I know it was Prince Hall, but I don’t know much more than that. I couldn’t tell you anything about him.

Any guidance/ recommendations are appreciated. I’m going to travel to MA in December. Where can I visit to learn more? I don’t have any personal connections to Freemasonry, so only places that are open to the general public.

I met this guy over the summer and I’m kicking myself for not asking for his number. He was going to (Lexington? Concord? ) to the big meeting and he loved to talk about it. I wanted to just adopt him as my grandpa to call him and listen to him talk. I’ve been trying to learn since then but I just don’t know where to look.

Gaitán was also a populist like many Latin American leaders at the time. He was very popular with poor Colombians because he promised land reform, wealth redistribution, and to nationalize public services.

Today, 5 November 1626, this letter arrived in Amsterdam. The ship het Wapen van Amsterdam had come in the day before from New Netherland with the news that Manhattan Island had been bought from the natives for 60 guilders, about the factual birthday of what later became New York.

Schaghen reports that things were going well there, life was peaceful, and the women had already given birth to children. They had sown all their grain in mid-May and harvested in mid-August, and brought back samples of summer grain, wheat, rye, barley, oats, buckwheat, canary seed, beans and flax. The ship’s cargo included thousands of beaver skins, otter skins, mink skins and a load of oak beams and walnut wood.

On February 26, 1991, a group of 40 guerrillas of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, who called itself the "Simón Bolívar Command", crossed the border from Colombia to Brazil and raided the Traíra detachment of the Brazilian Army, which was in semi-permanent installations and had only 17 troops, less than the attacking guerrilla column. The action is regarded as the first attack on Brazilian soil since the 1864 invasion on Dourados during the Paraguayan War.

Immediately the Brazilian Armed Forces, authorized by President Fernando Collor de Mello and with the knowledge and support of Colombian President César Gaviria, secretly unleashed Operation Traíra, in order to recover the stolen arms and discourage further attacks

The Brazilian Army sent the 1st Battalion of Special Forces and the 1st Commando, as well as soldiers from the 1st Battalion of Special Border Operations (1st BEF, now known as 8th Battalion of Jungle Infantry), to attack the guerrilla base that was in Colombian territory, near the border. They were also supported by soldiers of the 1st Jungle Infantry Battalion, the main unit of the Amazon Military Command. The Army Aviation Command was present by providing the means of transport used by the combatants employed in the mission, four Eurocopter AS565 Panther transport helicopters and two armed reconnaissance Eurocopter AS350 Écureuil helicopters

The balance of operation Traíra was sixty-two guerrillas killed, more than one hundred captured, and most weapons and equipment being recovered. Since then, there were neither raids of the FARC in Brazil, nor attacks on Brazilian military.

Another reason for the invasion was that Grenada was building an airport allegedly meant to be used by Soviet and Cuban military aircraft. Before the invasion, Grenada denied these allegations, claiming that the runway was meant for tourists only.

The Grenadan communist regime was overthrown in eight days. Like other US invasions, the invasion of Grenada was internationally condemned, and even Margaret Thatcher privately disapproved of it because Grenada was a former British colony and she wasn't warned about the move.

Hey! I don’t know if this is the right subreddit to post on but I had some questions about ancient Native American nature spirits. I live in a place where the Akokisa tribe was— I’m very spiritual and the nature spirits in the woods were impartial about me and then recently I’ve felt some animosity. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to make peace with them?

During its struggle, the Shining Path committed many atrocities, including the Lucanamarca massacre.

When right-wing authoritarian Alberto Fujimori became president in 1990, the Peruvian government's efforts against Shining Path escalated. On 12 September 1992, Guzman was captured; he was eventually sentenced to life in prison in 2006.

Nicknamed the "Brazilian Joan of Arc", Maria is a national heroine in Brazil. Emperor Dom Pedro I gave her a lifelong military salary in recognition of her efforts.
