	Social War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Social War (also called the Italian War or the Marsic War, Social coming from Socii meaning ¨Allies¨) was a war from 91 – 88 BC between the Roman Republic and the other cities in Italy, who were Roman allies before the war started.
		The Social War was, in part, caused by the assassination of Marcus Livius Drusus the Younger.
		By 88 BC the war was largely over except for the Samnites (the old rivals of Rome) who still held out.

	Latin America: ‘War on Terror’ zeroes in on Indigenous people (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		In the United States, “there is a perception of indigenous activists as destabilizing elements and terrorists,” and their demands and activism have begun to be cast in a criminal light, lawyer Jose Aylwin, with the Institute of Indigenous Studies at the University of the Border in Temuco, south of the Chilean capital, told IPS.
		In Latin America, the Andean subregion is seen as the “hottest” area, because of the growing political role played by well-organized Indigenous movements in Bolivia and Ecuador, but also because of the impact on Indigenous peoples of armed conflict and drug trafficking in Colombia.
		Maldus commented to IPS that Latin America’s Indigenous people are in the midst of an “ethnic reconstruction,” which explains why the declining workers’ movement has been increasingly eclipsed by associations of rural workers and peasant farmers.

	Latin league - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the 6th century, the Etruscan kings tried to establish their rule over Aricia but the league's policies prevented the Etruscans' invasion.
		The renewal of the original treaty in 358 B.C. formally established Roman leadership and eventually triggered the outbreak of the Latin War (343 BC—338 BC)
		After 338 BC, the end of the Latin league, Rome renamed the cities municipiae and established colonae inside them.

	Latin Revolt - History of the Roman Empire
		The Latins, having fully aided Rome in the war, expected equal treatment in regard to the spoils and therefore continued to harass the Samnites despite overtures towards peace, by Rome.
		The Latins demanded equal status among all the league members, and a share of the governing of Rome which was expectedly rejected.
		The Latin rights, or ius Latii, were a stepping stone for newly absorbed communities to feel a part of Rome, while being required to show their acceptance of Roman rule before gaining full citizenship.

		Latin America was largely run by large landowners, who derived much of their wealth and power from trading with the U.S. and Europe.
		Several Latin American nations were ruled by juntas, or military cliques that had seized power — they promised to restore stability and improve the economy, but generally only protected the business interests of the upper classes.
		Most Latin American communists had no real desire to be puppets of either Russia or China — they were trying mainly to play the superpowers (all three of them) off against one another.

	Latin America Views the Changing Security Environment
		Finally, after World War II ended and Latin American states felt they had contributed to the allied victory, they thought the playing field was level and they would be given their fair attention by the United States.
		Latin Americans, particularly Chileans and Argentines, would prefer the benefits of expanded NAFTA membership, as originally offered by President Bush’s Enterprise for the Americas in 1990, but the reconfiguration of the political scene in Washington since 1994 has made this virtually impossible.
		Other Latin American nations would like to participate in APEC but are less interested in the aftermath of the 1997 financial crisis and do not have either the sustained economic growth or political saliency to the APEC members.

	LATIN AMERICA: 'War on Terror' Has Indigenous People in Its Sights
		SANTIAGO, Jun 6 (IPS) - The ”war on terror”, identified in Amnesty International's annual report as a new source of human rights abuses, is threatening to expand to Latin America, targeting indigenous movements that are demanding autonomy and protesting free-market policies and ”neo-liberal” globalisation.
		In Latin America, the Andean subregion is seen as the ”hottest” area, because of the growing political role played by well-organised indigenous movements in Bolivia and Ecuador, but also because of the impact on indigenous peoples of armed conflict and drug trafficking in Colombia.

	The Last Colonial Massacre: Latin America in the Cold War by Greg Grandin, an excerpt
		An author of works dedicated to the roughly one hundred thousand Latin Americans "disappeared" by Cold War terror, Dorfman recognized immediately the grief and uncertainty in the faces of the relatives walking about the streets of New York in search of their loved ones, carrying their photographs, not knowing if they were alive or dead.
		Latin America in particular has long been the Achilles' heel in the hard armor of U.S. virtue, and even the most triumphal of Cold War scholars have been forced into moral contortions to explain away U.S. actions that contributed to the torture and murder of hundreds of thousands of individuals.
		In Latin America, in country after country, the mass peasant and working-class movements that gained ground in the middle of the twentieth century were absolutely indispensable to the advancement of democracy.

		These army units overlap with unofficial death squads and paramilitary groups which are carrying out a grisly "dirty war" against the FARC and rival drug gangs, "cultural cleansing" campaigns aimed at gays and drug users, and even terrorizing Indians from their lands to make way for multinational oil companies like British Petroleum.
		Ironically, the mastermind of Peru's "dirty war" is Fujimori's intelligence advisor Vladimiro Montesinos, who portrays the Shining Path as a "narcoterrorist" organization.
		The Latin cities network was devised by the US State Department to head off the spread of this contagion of Drug War dissent to South America.

	PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Autumn 1994
		Latin America's armed forces now emerge at the end of the Cold War as a positive force amid bold democratization and economic development within the world's oldest and largest homogeneous block of constitutional and independent nation-states.
		One of Latin America's most important decisions during the Cold War was not to emulate the airpower arms races in progress in the Middle East, much of Asia, parts of Africa, and all of Europe.
		For Latin America's small armed forces, this could mean comparing five different ways to interdict border smuggling, combining the measures with illegal immigration control and the anti-narcotics campaign, and then blending the resources of land, sea, air, and police forces in the most effective, and hopefully efficient, mix.

		Rather, the spread of Latin America's guerrilla movements was driven by the frustration of efforts to consolidate post-World War II social democracies.
		Latin America at the end of World War II was far from democratic.
		Among the lethal measures used by Latin American military regimes to eliminate dissent during the cold war, the most infamous is the “disappearance”—the extrajudicial kidnapping and execution of political activists by government security forces.

	Post WWII Highlights in Latin America Aviation History
		While jets were being rapidly introduced into the post-World War II Latin American scene, authorities were quick to grasp the potential of the other new forces of aircraft.
		Latin America obviously has many long coastal areas to patrol, and thus it is not surprising that amphibious aircraft have, for a long time, been important to a number of nations.
		The last Latin American military operator of the classic "Catalina," however, was the Paraguayan Air Force, which took pains to restore a PBY-5A which is now in the custody of the Argentine Naval Aviation Museum in excellent condition.

		The Latin American exporters had argued they would have no chance of maintaining their market share in the EU with the planned levy weighing on the prices of their bananas.
		Although they welcomed the end of the EU quota system, the six Latin American countries were adamant that the proposed new EU duty of 230 euros was too high, prompting their new challenge.

		Still, most political observers in Latin America expect little damage to US relations with countries in the region as a result of the war, partly because it is in a faraway region that has little impact on the Americas.
		Most of the Latin American protesters have been the same people seen at other demonstrations, opposing globalization, the US war against terrorism, or focusing on any number of local issues.

		WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration and congressional allies are gearing up to renew a plan for drug eradication in Latin America despite some grim news: The $5.4 billion spent on the plan since 2000 has made no dent in the availability of cocaine on U.S. streets, and prices are at all-time lows.
		U.N. figures released this month show that coca cultivation in the Andean region increased by 2 percent in 2004, as declines in Colombia were swamped by massive increases in Peru and Bolivia.
		Whether or not the anti-drug effort is succeeding, the U.S. foreign aid budget is under new scrutiny, especially with the war in Iraq costing more than $4 billion a month and a $379 billion deficit looming for 2006.

		A Samper aide was forced to admit that, for the first time in nearly 40 years of guerilla activity, "the country is at war." The Army and Air Force pounded Indi-an land in the highland state of Antio-quia to dislodge FARC roadblocks on the highway to Medellin.
		US ambassador to Colombia Myles Frechette told a Colombian reporter in August that she met in 1995 with "a group of civilians, speaking on behalf of military officers, who requested my support for a little coup against Samper." An outraged Samper immediately protested that Fre-chette had not gone to him with the information.
		A recent international confer-ence they hosted in their territory issued a proclamation against the Drug War, calling for "legalization of soft drugs throughout the planet."
