===Summary===
Costa Rica has a rich history starting from the first traces of settlement around 1100 BC, with major events including Christopher Columbus' discovery of the land in 1502 and the subsequent Spanish colonization. The region became independent in 1821 and was part of the Federation of United Provinces of America until 1838. Costa Rica formalized its independence in 1848 and has since undertaken major social reforms such as the abolition of slavery and the army, the granting of women's right to vote, and nationalizing banks. The country has been under various presidents, including notable figures like Oscar Arias Sánchez, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1987 for promoting peace in Central America. Costa Rica has also had significant diplomatic relationships with other countries, such as China and the United States, and joined international organizations like the WTO and OECD. Furthermore, it has been proactive in environmental conservation, operating at 98% renewable energy in 2016. Costa Rica also took a stand against the crisis in Venezuela in 2017, refusing to recognize the constituent assembly desired by President Maduro.


1519 ➡ Arrival of the first Spanish settlers in the Gulf of Nicoya and the first clashes with the Chorotegas and Huetares Indians.
