A Brief History of Post-Conquest Latin America - Part 6 The World Wars and the Cold War Insurgencies

The Latin American History Podcast

The Cold War period was one of turmoil in Latin America. Local political trends and outside involvement by superpowers fighting their global battle of ideologies combined to create social conflict waged by both left and right. In this episode we look at the insurgencies which swept the region. Some, like the one in Cuban would result in socialist governments. Others, like that of Colombia, resulted in prolonged civil war.

We begin though, by looking at the Latin American contribution to the world wars.
