Background[]
|
Before the arrival of the Spanish colonizers, the region that is now El Salvador was inhabited by various indigenous peoples. The most prominent were the Pipil, Lenca, and Maya civilizations. These societies had advanced agricultural practices, built impressive cities, and developed complex social and political structures. In 1524, Spanish conquistador Pedro de Alvarado invaded the territory of present-day El Salvador. The indigenous populations resisted the Spanish colonization, but were eventually subjugated. El Salvador became part of the Captaincy General of Guatemala within the Spanish Empire. El Salvador, along with other Central American territories, declared independence from Spain on September 15, 1821. Initially, El Salvador was part of the United Provinces of Central America, a federation comprised of present-day Central American countries. However, the federation dissolved in 1838, leading to El Salvador becoming an independent nation. Throughout much of the 19th and 20th centuries, El Salvador experienced political instability, including frequent changes in government, military coups, and conflicts between different factions. Power struggles between oligarchic elites and military leaders characterized much of the country's political landscape. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, El Salvador experienced an economic boom fueled by the cultivation and export of coffee. The coffee industry, dominated by a small wealthy elite, led to significant social and economic inequality. The majority of the population, consisting of campesinos (rural peasants), faced poverty and landlessness. The deep social and economic disparities in El Salvador contributed to social unrest and political tensions throughout the 20th century. In the 1930s, a series of uprisings and social movements called "La Matanza" resulted in the massacre of thousands of indigenous and peasant people. From 1980 to 1992, El Salvador endured a brutal civil war between the government, backed by the military and right-wing paramilitary groups, and leftist guerrilla organizations, primarily the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN). The war caused extensive human rights violations, displacement, and loss of life. The conflict ended with the signing of the Chapultepec Peace Accords, which led to political reforms and the integration of former guerrilla fighters into the political system. Following the civil war, El Salvador faced numerous challenges, including the reintegration of ex-combatants, economic recovery, and addressing social inequality, crime, and violence. The country has made progress in some areas, but continues to grapple with these issues. Today, El Salvador is a democratic republic, with periodic elections and a multi-party system. However, it still faces challenges related to poverty, crime, and migration. The country is working toward promoting social and economic development, improving security, and addressing the needs of its population. |

Strategy[]
At the start of the game, justify on Honduras and 
Belize. While waiting for the justification to be done, build 2 electronic factories and sell 3-5 units to AI countries such as 
Brazil, 
India, or 
China. Then, make 40k troops and train them to 125%-150%. You should also train them with Jungle Specialization. Merge your 40k and 20k divisions together. Declare war on Honduras and invade a nearby small city using the AI luring strategy. Wait until the enemy troops are defeated and auto capture. Declare war on Belize and repeat. Once you own Belize and Honduras, justify war on Guatemala and 
Nicaragua. After that, declare war on Guatemala, using the same method you did for the Honduras and Belize. Justify on Costa Rica next. Then after you own Guatemala, invade Nicaragua. Then invade Costa Rica and once done, you can now form the Republic of Central America.

Mexico invading you for the Mexican Empire.- Other Central American nations may want to form the Republic of Central America.
