Consequences The annexation of the party from Nicoya to Costa Rica has had political, economic, social and cultural repercussions. Costa Rica saw its national territory increased, reaching its maximum historical extension until 1836, when it lost Bocas del Toro (today part of Panama) before the Neo-Granadian usurpation. The population increased and therefore the labor that contributes remarkably in the economy. The Guanacaste lands are of great importance in the production of rice, sugarcane and sorghum among others. In addition, it is an excellent livestock area. Nowadays, the Guanacaste region is one of the main tourist attractions of Costa Rica for its beaches, landscapes, plains and volcanoes. The culture of Costa Rica was enriched by the contribution of Guanacaste. This cultural enrichment is observed in various aspects such as gastronomy, music, folklore, musical instruments, legends, traditions and customs. Conflicts bordering Nicaragua: after the incorporation of Nicoya to Costa Rica, there have been a series of conflicts bordering Nicaragua, many of which remain to this day. After the annexation, there was a long diplomatic litigation between the two countries that was settled with the signing of the Cañas-Jerez treaty in 1858, and its ratification by the Alexander awards in 1888. The subject is often coming to light on a recurring basis when there are political and diplomatic clashes between the governments of both countries.
