Chapter 8
Capitals of the Americas
This chapter covers every capital of the Americas that the essentials chapter left out: Central America, the islands of the Caribbean and the rest of South America. Some were moved after earthquakes or hurricanes, like Belmopan, built inland after a storm wrecked Belize City. Watch for Bolivia, whose constitution names Sucre while the government sits in La Paz, and for the tiny island nations, whose capitals are often small harbour towns.
