Paying for War in Nineteenth-Century Latin America

This paper provides an empirical reassessment of economic and political dynamics widely thought to have inhibited the effect of warfare on state formation in nineteenth-century Latin America. Against the prevailing understanding, it reveals that states could seldom resort to trade taxes and foreign loans to finance wars. Conversely, inter-state conflict seems to be more associated with domestic taxation and intra-elite conflict than previously believed. These findings confirm the mechanisms by which “war makes the state” were systematically present in nineteenth-century Latin America. After exploring the effects of warfare on a panel of eighteen Latin American countries from independence to 1913, these mechanisms are illustrated with examples from the four most severe wars during that century regarding battle deaths and duration: the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867), the Paraguayan War (1864-1870), and the War of the Pacific (1879-1884).
