1 janv. 1870 - The government of Tomás Guardia in 1870.
Description:
His government curtailed liberty and added to the debt, but it also brought increases in coffee and sugar exports as well as widespread construction of schools. A new constitution, adopted in 1871, remained in effect, except for a brief interlude , until 1949. The emphasis on agricultural exports strained transportation, and, with mainly British funds, Costa Rica sought to link the Valle Central with the seaports by railway.The chief promoter was an American, Minor C. Keith, who made a fortune with the opening of his rail line between Cartago and Limón.Ajouté au bande de temps:
