Answer:
They have lived in peace despite conflicts and civil wars contrary to their neighboring countries.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first factor that helped Costa Rica have a relatively stable and peaceful history is believed to have been because of Costa Rica's liberality. Women and African Americans/Blacks were allowed the right to vote. Costa Rica is a pacifist and peacemaking country.
The Second factor is thought to have been the disbandment of Costa Rica's army as it was disbanded on Dec. 1, 1948, by President Figueres Ferrer after they (as a county) won Costa Rica's civil war. Costa Rica's military was abolished and instead of wasting the money on armed forces, Costa Rica believed that it was more important to spend its money on the country's public health, education, and the basic needs of others. Costa Rica is known as a cleaner/healthier or more well-off place compared to many countries in LAC (Latin America and the Caribbean).
