Costa Rica qualifies as such. After its Civil War (March-April 1948), president Jose Figueres Ferrer abolished the Costa Rican military.
NONE ---------------------- However, if you count Costa Rica as South American, then it does not have an army.
All South American nations have an army. Remember that South America only includes the nations of Brazil, Suriname, Guyana, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The continent does not include Central American or Caribbean nations.
Costa Rica is the Central American country that abolished its army in 1948 and has since been focused on maintaining a peaceful and neutral stance.
Costa Rica is the only Latin American country with no standing army.
The Hispanic nation that was apparently the first to abolish the Army was Costa Rica. In 1949, the government began forbidding the country from having a standing Army.
