In the early 20th century, Santa Cruz emerged as a significant player in Bolivia's history, largely influenced by two key conflicts: the war with Brazil at the turn of the century and the Chaco War with Paraguay in the 1930s. During this period, Santa Cruz was somewhat cut off from the rest of the nation, with its first major road link to Cochabamba not established until the 1950s. The subsequent connection via rail to Brazil further spurred the city's economic and demographic expansion, transforming it into a pivotal center of growth.
