After the return of Rafael Carrera, from exile in 1849, the Salvadoran president Doroteo Vasconcelos gave asylum to Guatemalan liberals, who harassed the government of Guatemala in several ways: José Francisco Barrundia made him from a newspaper for that express purpose; Vasconcelos fed , for a year to the rebel faction “The Mountain ” , in eastern Guatemala distributing money and weapons to the rebels . In late 1850, Vasconcelos was tired of this slow war against Guatemala and decided to act openly . So, the Salvadoran president began a crusade against the Conservative regime of Guatemala , inviting participation in the alliance to Honduras and Nicaragua ; but both governments alone the Honduran chaired by Juan Lindo agreed to participate in the invasion.

PEASANT UPRISING IN EL SALVADOR , 1932
The peasant uprising of 1932 in El Salvador was a mixture of protest and insurrection that ended in ethnocide . After the arrival of the Spanish in Salvadoran territory , economic and social situation of the natives was characterized by a steady decline of living standards , which increased in the years to independence. After the independence of El Salvador , governments were promoting the creation of an unequal system , which kept clear of progress native populations of the territories of the Lordship of Cuzcatlán .

Peasants and indigenous people rose up against the government and attacked military installations in the west of the country , coinciding with a rebellion organized by the Salvadoran Communist Party ( PCS ) after losing elections later accused of fraud .
THE GENERAL STRIKE ” SIT-DOWN ” 1944
Revenge of the working class against repression Martinato
The General Maximiliano Hernández Martínez came to power taking advantage of the coup against Arturo Araujo in 1931 but only consolidated with the defeat of the revolution. The slaughter of 30,000 workers in 1932 was intended not only to defeat the insurgency but also teach a lesson to the masses for the revolution not lift head for decades and that would have been like in any other country but the enormous revolutionary traditions in the Salvador, the inability of capitalism to provide stability and excesses committed by the military government made in a span of only 12 years a revolutionary new process that had triumphed in its entirety could have saved tens of thousands of martyrs was given.
The Communist Party of El Salvador (PCS) arose when the Russian revolution had degenerated bureaucratically. There is a huge river of blood that divides the Bolshevism of Stalinism, Stalin killed more communists than Hitler and Mussolini together, just so he could crush the democratic gains of October. Stalin falsified history and took the authority that the first workers’ state was between the working class and the oppressed around the world. It replaced the defendant proletarian internationalism provided by Lenin, the social-theory of socialism in one country, using the revolutionary process and the Parties of the Communist International as pawns on a chessboard that could sacrifice according to the conveniences of the Soviet bureaucracy .
There is a parallel between the personalities of Stalin and Hernandez Martinez, both were gray individuals of low culture. Replaced his poor vision with the most extreme violence, torture and murder. Using the appliance, power and repression to appear as the great visionaries Masters, the great leaders.
The Bonapartist government Hernández Martínez was tolerated by the bourgeoisie only because it became his hero in the 32, the man with the ability to crush communism in El Salvador. The bourgeoisie prefers governments based on bourgeois democracy but prefers hundred thousand times more dictatorial before the revolutionary triumph of workers governments. A Bonapartist regime like Hernández Martínez, is the tendency of power to one man tending to rise above the status classes, by its nature it is incessant maneuvering between classes; can impact blows to the ruling class but always defending the existing mode of production, in this case the capitalist.
Hernández Martínez longer in power decided to stay there reelecting several occasions, the last in March 1944. There was a growing dissatisfaction of the bourgeoisie with Maximilian, who imposed them give him a cake capitalist profits bigger slice. An example is the attempt to increase tax rates on exports for the state to have more income.
THE ASSASSINATION OF ARCHBISHOP ROMERO
On the night of March 24, 1980, Archbishop Romero was fatally shot in the heart by murderers, who obeyed orders coming directly from the reactionary oligarchy that dominates the country. Romero was killed because he was the voice representing the needs of the oppressed. Until today it has not done justice and the masses are still waiting.
“While it is clear that our church has been the victim of persecution during the past three years, is even more important to note the reason for this persecution … The persecution comes to us due to the defense of the Church for the poor, for taking the fate of poor “.
“A church that suffers no persecution but enjoys the privileges and support from the things of this world, care !, is not the church of Jesus Christ. A preaching that does not point sin is not preaching the gospel. A sermon that makes sinners feel good, so that they feel safe in their sinful, betrays the call of the gospel. ”
“When the Church hears the cry of the oppressed can not otherwise denounce the social structures that fuel and perpetuate the misery from which comes the cry” (Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero, March 11, 1979).
On Monday night March 24, 1980, Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero was shot to the heart while saying Mass in memory of the mother of a friend. He died a few minutes. On March 23, 1980, one day before his death, he went directly to the country’s soldiers in his weekly sermon, imploring: “In the name of God, in the name of this suffering people whose cries rise to heaven each day more tumultuous, I implore you, I beg you, I order you: Stop the repression! “.
The masses reacted angrily to murder. During the funeral service of the Archbishop, a bomb exploded outside the cathedral in San Salvador, then government troops opened fire on the crowd of about 50,000 who had gathered there to pay homage. An estimated 40 people were killed and 200 were injured.
One day after the murder was an accusation that Cuba was directly involved. But there was no possibility that the Cubans were involved in the assassination of Archbishop. Everyone knows who was responsible. The murder was the work of the reactionary right shortly afterwards, in 1981, founded the ARENA party, organized by Roberto D’Aubuisson, who had previously been the founder and leader of the notorious death squads, and personally made a called for the assassination of Romero.
The report of the Commission on the Truth of the United Nations in 1993 states unambiguously:
“There is sufficient evidence that the greatest ancient Roberto D’Aubuisson gave the order to assassinate the Archbishop and gave precise instructions to members of his security service manual, acting as a death squad, to organize and supervise the assassination.”
The Archbishop was extremely popular and an outspoken critic of the military who ruled this Central American nation with an iron fist. Romero became known for his courageous public denunciations of the atrocities committed by the military in the turbulent years before the bitter Salvadoran civil war.
The masses of workers and peasants in El Salvador and throughout Central revere his memory. On the occasion of the 30th anniversary (March 24, 2010) of this brutal political assassination, the people of El Salvador took to the streets to celebrate the memory of this brave man.
History of Dollarization in El Salvador 2001
The Salvadoran currency circulated in this country since October 1862.
One of the innovations that emerged in the Latin American economy has been the announcement of the dollarization process of the Salvadoran economy. This is a set of measures taken by the regime of former President Francisco Flores that gradually would promote the substitution of Salvadoran Colon for the greenback. Under this administration (1999-2004), with the support of Congress dominated by the right, El Salvador dollarized on January 1, 2001, to take effect called Monetary Integration Law (LIM), which fixed the exchange rate at 8.75 colones for a dollar.
The Act called for the International Monetary Stability (IMSA, in the acronym) provides, nothing more and nothing less, than the principles and lines of work for dollarization worldwide. Start giving the advantages of adopting the dollar as currency: monetary stability, lower inflation and interest rates to US levels, higher economic growth that stimulates savings and investments, fiscal discipline, contribution to strengthening the financial system and lower volatility of interest rates and inflation.
The document details the obligations to be met by the country that dollarized and actions and responsibilities of the monetary authorities of the United States to that situation. It also recognizes that dollarization will help stabilize and increase US exports and decrease the risks of exchange rate US investors when investing in these countries. He also notes that the US project will save significant sums in financial assistance to countries with financial problems and monetary seigniorage profits (reservoir performance) will increase US
In the mechanism of law enforcement, the proposed formula explains that countries are not obliged to dollarization, but if they do have to meet certain conditions. Among them, the full opening of the financial system to foreign banks, cessation of issuing domestic currency and the destruction of materials (plates and dies) used to produce coins. Should eliminate legal tender status to national currency and grant legal tender status to the US dollar. Must engage with the Secretary of the US Treasury to determine whether the country is a good candidate for official dollarization and cooperate with the United States regarding the prevention of money laundering and forgery.
With dollarization, El Salvador ran out of monetary policy and the Central Bank became dependent on the US Federal Reserve (Fed), which now pays for you to print the currency.
El Salvador, on the advice of the Chilean economist Sebastian Edwards, poses a substitution plan currency requiring a series of legal and economic reforms. These reforms included reforms to the banking, labor and fiscal sector: in November 2000, former President announces the decision to dollarize and January 2001 begins the gradual substitution of the colon by the US dollar Francisco Flores.
The process of dollarization came Salvadoran given in advance because the number of transactions which for years had been making many businesses and shops. These businesses operate in El Salvador, driven by the significant presence of Salvadorans in the United States.
From its earliest days dollarization seems doomed to be a catalyst of contradictions. Days before the end of 2000, the Foundation for the Study of Law (Fespad) filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Monetary Integration Law because it was passed with great ignorance of both the population and legislators.
The challenge for monetary stability of the subcontinent passed mainly through a common currency. A more favorable, even in Latin America, an alternative would be to create a regional currency, something like a Latin American Peso. This currency if it could be handled more “fair” manner dollar level. But that creation includes significant challenges especially in terms exceed backward “national” concepts in a region that requires integration. If dollarization was the simple answer is clear that Europe would have done without the “complications” of the entire European Monetary System regional macroeconomic coordination and the creation of the Euro.

1970 Football war
The Football War (Spanish: La guerra del fútbol), also known as the Soccer War or 100 Hour War, was a brief war fought by El Salvador and Honduras in 1969. The cause of the war was economic in nature, namely issues concerning immigration from El Salvador to Honduras.[1] These existing tensions between the two countries coincided with rioting during the second North American qualifying round of the 1970 FIFA World Cup. The war began on 14 July 1969, when the Salvadoran military launched an attack against Honduras. The Organization of American States negotiated a ceasefire on the night of 18 July (hence “100-hour War”), which took full effect on 20 July. Salvadoran troops were withdrawn in early August.
Despite the elapse of more than forty years, a formal peace treaty, a decision by the International Court of Justice and the support of the Organization of American States, the dispute remains active.

The Chapultepec Peace Accords brought peace to El Salvador in 1992 after more than a decade of civil war.[1]
The treaty was negotiated by representatives of the Salvadoran government, the rebel movement FMLN, and political parties, with observers from the Roman Catholic Church and United Nations.
The treaty was the result of a UN backed peace process that had begun in 1990.[2] On December 31, 1991, the government and the FMLN initialed a preliminary peace agreement under the auspices of UN Secretary-General Javier Pérez de Cuéllar. The final agreement was signed in Mexico City on January 16, 1992, at Chapultepec Castle.

Unlike other major islands of the Gulf of Fonseca, Rabbit Island was never put to discussion in the definition even though the government of El Salvador asked for a clarification of the situation of every island in the Gulf of Fonseca. The island, despite its small size, is a strategic point of naval and military value to both Honduras and El Salvador.

Some factors contributing to the war were: the international drop in coffee prices, constant electoral fraud and discontent of the population by the form of government of the military. Some events that ignited tempers during the armed conflict highlights the murder of the Archbishop of San Salvador, Oscar Arnulfo Romero in 1980.
The turbulent environment ended in 1992 when fighters of the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN) consists of five groups of left and the right-wing government of then President Alfredo Cristiani of the Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA), signed the “Agreements Peace “on January 16, 1992 in Chapultepec, Mexico, who claimed political and military reforms, but did not elaborate on the social aspect.
In 1992, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) sent the delimitation of “The Pockets” (a frontier area disputed between El Salvador and Honduras), but thanks to the intervention of the Organization of American States (OAS) and the ICJ in 2003, the total land border demarcation has been completed in 2006. also in 1992, the ICJ advised a tripartite resolution for the creation of maritime boundaries in the Gulf of Fonseca. El Salvador continues to claim Rabbit Island, which is not included in the ICJ decision in this case.
