My favorite dates in Costa Rican history! Costa Rica´s 1948 civil war lasted only 44 days, and the end result was a Constitution that is baffling. In 1948 the new constituion gave women the right to vote, abolished slavery, established the national bank, and abolished the army. The abolishment of the army is a point of pride for the Ticos and for me, it is just one aspect of what makes Costa Rica a remarkable and peaceful place.
