SPANISH CONQUESTIn 1525, Pedro de Alvarado
succeeded in bringing the district under control of the Captaincy General of Guatemala, which retained its authority until 1821.
INDEPENDENCEThe first "shout of independence"
in El Salvador came in 1811, at the hands of criollo elite.
In 1821, El Salvador and the other Central American provinces declared their independence from Spain.
INDEPENDENCEWhen these provinces were
joined with Mexico in early 1822, El Salvador resisted, insisting on autonomy for the Central American countries.
In 1823, the United Provinces of Central America was formed of the five Central American states under Gen. Manuel José Arce.
FROM INDIGO TO COFFEEEl Salvador's landed elite
depended on production of a single export crop, indigo.
The landed elite replaced this crop with a newly demanded product, coffee.
MILITARY DICTATORSHIPSBetween 1931 to 1944, during
General Maximiliano Martinez there was brutal suppression of rural resistance.
By the year 1932, 30,000 indigenous people and political opponents were murdered, imprisoned or exiled.
MILITARY DICTATORSHIPS From the 1930s to the 1970s,
authoritarian governments employed political repression.
The National Conciliation Party was in power from the early 1960s until 1979.
SALVADORAN CIVIL WAR In 1979, both the extreme
right and the extreme left now disagreed with the government and increased political violence quickly turned into a civil war.
The Chapultepec Peace Accords marked the end of the war in 1992 and FMLN became one of the major political parties.
