North America 114 years ago today: Nicaragua–Honduras War (14 April 1907) https://buff.ly/3abb4VT Central American instability came to a head in 1907, when Nicaragua invaded and occupied Honduras. Fed up with the endless conflict in the region, the US stepped in, pushing the five independent Central American states to agree to a peace conference and establish a Court of Justice to resolve future disputes. #1900s #1907 #20thcentury #americanhistory #april #april14 #cartografia #cartographer #centralamerica #diplomacy #historicalatlas #historyinthemaking #historymuseum #historynerd #honduras #maps #mexicanhistory #modernhistory #nicaragua #northamerica #centralamericanstates #riskgame #latinamerica #hispanichistory #unitedstates #welovehistory #worldhistory #todayinhistory #historytoday #thisdayinhistory (at Tegucigalpa, Honduras)

Asia Pacific 80 years ago today: Franco-Thai War (13 April 1941) https://buff.ly/2wF7iUo Thailand saw the French capitulation to Japan as weakness, seizing the opportunity to regain lost territories by invading French Indochina. The Japanese quickly put a stop to this war, but supported Thai claims at the ensuing peace treaty. With its focus now on the south, Japan signed a neutrality pact with the Soviet Union. #1941 #april #april13 #asiapacific #frenchindochina #indochine #vichyfrance #frenchempire #historias #histories #historybuff #historygram #historylovers #historymaker #historyschool #instahistory #japaneseempire #japanesehistory #maps #worldwar2 #wwii #ww2 #worldwarii #thailand #secondworldwar #britishempire #worldatlas #todayinhistory #historytoday #thisdayinhistory (at Bangkok, Thailand)

North America 160 years ago today: Attack on Fort Sumter (12 April 1861) https://buff.ly/2P4fceF Despite the Confederacy’s declaration of independence, the United States Army still garrisoned a number of forts in the south. The most vulnerable was Fort Sumter in Charleston harbor, South Carolina, which desperately needed to be resupplied. However when newly elected US President Lincoln ordered the navy to ship in supplies, the Confederate government considered it an act of war and attacked the fort from land. The American Civil War had begun. #1861 #19thcentury #americancivilwar #americanhistory #april #april12 #confederacy #fortsumter #historicalmaps #histories #historyfacts #historygram #historymajor #historymatters #historyschool #mapping #maps #northamerica #southcarolina #militaryhistory #ushistory #uscivilwar #confederatestates #victorian #victorianera #abrahamlincoln #worldatlas #todayinhistory #historytoday #thisdayinhistory (at Fort Sumter Tours)

Asia Pacific 83 years ago today: Battle of Tai'erzhuang (7 April 1938) https://buff.ly/3rX3bcH Despite the outcry over the fall of Shanghai and the Rape of Nanking, the Western powers were not prepared to intervene against Japan.
