Yo diría:
  • ... las consecuencias del desacuerdo entre los dos gobiernos.
  • ... capaz de causar un altercado.

...acusado causar una querella en el público.

A direct translation of charged can be cargado or se presento cargos.
Sorry about complicating matters more, but a sentence with cargos
may be a more accurate choice.

  • Acusado o con cargos.
  • Cargado no se usa en España con ese sentido.

We say the second one or the second when we're referring to the second thing/place/person/idea that was mentioned (la segunda). We also say the latter (éste/a).
Solemos echar la palabra one porque nos suena mejor, nada más.

No.

I've gone to Chiapas twice. This is the second time I've visited this month.
-or-
I've been to the city of Chiapas. It is the second one (meaning city) I've visited this month.

I've seen my first movie of the week.

Thanks.
with Alfonso/Rusty pre-work, I think it ends so:

.. el resultado ó consecuencia del desacuerdo entre los dos gobiernos.
...ha sido acusado de provocar una disputa/riña/reyerta

saludos .

It wasn't Rusty who helped. It was Alfonso and Poli (and Jane chimed in, too). I just answered Crotalito's questions.
