Yet the 20th century also offers notable examples of large-scale demilitarization, both imposed and voluntary. This work fills a key gap in current historical understanding by examining demilitarization programs in Germany, Japan, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Costa Rica.Armed ForcesDemobilizationCase studiesDisarmamentHistory20th centuryMilitarismHistory20th centurySecurity, InternationalCase studiesWorld politics20th centuryCase studiesArmed ForcesDemobilizationDisarmamentHistoryMilitarismHistorySecurity, InternationalWorld politics327.174Stearns Peter N.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816284603321Demilitarization in the contemporary world4122238UNINA
