The Mexican-American War was a short war between the United States and Mexico in the 19th century that played a crucial role in shaping the landscape of the continent and had a long-lasting effect on both countries. However, why is the war often overlooked by people?

The Paraguayan War of 1864-1870 was the bloodiest war between nations in South American history. Discover how tiny Paraguay had a tyrant with a giant ego and the largest army on the continent and how and why he invaded Brazil and Argentina. Learn about the biggest naval battle in South America's history and about the Paraguayan fortress called South America's Gibraltar.

Brazil has a rich and complicated history that few outside South America know about. It leads the world in some of the most profitable exports (gold, sugar, oil, and coffee, ) yet Brazil has one of the largest wealth disparities in the world and is known for crime and poverty. It is also an ethnically diverse country with a rich, distinct nationality and culture, yet the Brazilians seem to be at odds with each other. Would you be surprised to learn that its history has something to do with that?

Argentina has a long and complex history. For hundreds of years, Argentina was inhabited by hunter-gatherer groups. For the most part, these people groups got along well with each other. In time, the Inca Empire rose to prominence and took over the Argentinian communities one by one. The Spanish arrived about twenty years later, bringing a new wave of invasion to the native inhabitants. The people of Argentina wouldn't declare their independence until 1816, and after that, they faced civil war after civil war.

The land of Peru is one that, for many, seems far away and distant. Even for those living relatively nearby geographically, Peru can seem just out of reach. After all, Peru is situated high in the Andes on the western coast of South America. Those who dare to live at this high of an elevation have learned to live on their own terms.
