The Jesuit missions among the Guarani played an important role in regional conflict through the provision of manpower for campaigns and supplies. However, regional conflict and particularly the mobilization of the mission militia and the movement of soldiers on campaign had demographic consequences for the populations of the missions such as the spread of contagion. This study documents regional conflict in the Rio de la Plata, the militarization of the Jesuit missions, and the demographic consequences of conflict for the mission populations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeneral Series Editor’s Preface   George Bryan Souza  Acknowledgements  List of Figures, Illustrations, Tables and Maps    1Introduction    2Profile of a Demographic Crisis: 1733–1740    3Regional Conflict and the Militarization of the Jesuit Missions    4Demographic Patterns on the Missions    5Conclusions    Appendix 1: The Population and Vital Rates of the Guaraní Missions discussed in Chapter 4  Selected Bibliography  Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210750288215,"sku":"9789004366145","price":104.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/regional-conflict-and-demographic-patterns-on-the-jesuit-missions-among-the-guarani-in-the-seventeenth-and-eighteenth-centuries-9789004366145","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
