One of the longest war began in the 1980’s, the Civil war in El Salvador, it was one of the bloodiest wars ever as well. “This war caused the death of 75,000 people, Innocent mothers and their children would be killed.”(Web) The problem began when El salvador brought in most of it’s profit with coffee.

I am Garnet Gyaase and I am going to talk about the flag of El Salvador, and the meaning behind it. The name of my country is El Salvador. It is located under Guatemala and Honduras, in Central America. The flag of El Salvador was officially adopted May 17, 1912. The blue and white are the original colors used by the Provinces of Central America. The United provinces are now known as, Yucantan, Maya, Campeche, Belize, Izabal, Los Altos, Soconusco, Miskita, Panama, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua. All of the provinces convened in Guatemala, and on July 1,1823, it declared the independence of the former kingdom under the name of” The United Provinces of Central America.” Above the volcanoes is a red Phrygian capon, and a staff before the golden sun, and the date of September 15th, 1821, independence was declared to be on that day.

Another obstacle is the food. I miss my mom’s cook, she always cooked me my favorite food; eggs, beans, chicken, whatever she cooked I love her too much. Here I found many differences between the food of the United States and the El Salvador’s, I think it is by the culture of American people who are used to eat that kind of food. The first time to eat here I just ate one thing during a whole week: Pizza. Maybe I was afraid of the food because I knew it tasted different and some other factors such as I was really hungry. I tried to overcome this obstacle imagining that the food is made by my mom and I guess I will taste very delicious the food. The results were a little better but it is still an obstacle because I don’t feel too much delicious

The history of El Salvador begins with the time period in which indigenous peoples resided in the country. According to Roy Poland, in Culture and Customs of El Salvador, El Salvador was conquered by the Spanish in 1524; the spanish found the country was divided into three states (13). The spaniards hegemonic influence finally converted El Salvador into a Spanish colony after twenty six years of indigenous resistance(Poland 14). Such conquest brought violence, diseases, and poverty to the indigenous people. The invasion of El Salvador by the Spanish also resulted in mestizaje, racial mixing. The colonial period lasted until 1821(Poland 14). El Salvador finally became independent from Spain in 1821 and joined the United Provinces of Central America in 1823; however, in 1840 El Salvador gained full independence (Eileen Garron Batres 6), One of the most important crops in El Salvador during the 1800’s and 1900’s was coffee; during the 1900’s El Salvador was the third largest coffee producer internationally (Susan B. Hecht).

Even though El Salvador is a small country in relation to its dense population, and its mountainous territory prevents traffickers from transporting their goods by air, it does, however, allow them to use those same mountains to cover up smuggling routes used to traffic weapons, contraband, illicit drugs and even people. For many years traffickers used boats or submarines to move drug from Colombia to northern Guatemala or Mexico. They did this in order to circumvent a part of Central America, yet with sea patrols improving and new cartels creating competition, smugglers needed to find a new way. So several gangs switched to moving their shipping overland, using Central America as a bridge.

El Salvador is in Central America, bordering the Pacific Ocean between Guatemala and Honduras. It is the smallest country in continental America and is often called “Pulgarcito de America,” the Tom Thumb of the Americas. The Latin American culture interest me. Enriched with tradition, lyrical language, vibrant colors and beautiful beaches. What is the difference between El Salvadoran culture and American Culture?

In the United States there are about 200,000 Salvadorans living here “illegally” being that they are being protected by Temporary Protected Status (TPS). President Donald Trump and Homeland Security have called an end to TPS for Salvadorans, which will be ending on September 9, 2019. TPS first came about for Salvadorans in the 1980s due to the Salvadoran civil war breaking out. Then it was later renewed due to the earthquake El Salvador had in 2001 that was a 7.7 magnitude earthquake. Since those two incidents TPS has continued to be renewed, but Trump has now called an end to it. The California Content standard 11.11.1 asks students to examine the changes in immigration policies. The Salvadoran nation is changing rapidly due to the immigration

Located on the Pacific Coastline, El Salvador is the smallest country in Central America, and the most populated. The United States of America foreign policy on El Salvador is best explained by President Obama’s approach on Latin America where the United States is focused on economic growth and equality, energy and climate control, and regional and citizen security (Foreign Policy, 2012). This is best explained using the international level of analysis and neo-liberalism where the global structure and economic interdependence provides the foundation of America’s foreign policy. To ensure that one can see the transparency in United States methodology I will provide the history of El Salvador, the creation of United States interest in El

Maria Materiano, an expectant mother and her husband, Salvador exited the large Mediterranean style house, ready for a night on the town, waited on the veranda and watched it rain, while waiting for the limousine. Driving the limo close to the veranda, Charles got out, opened the door while holding the umbrella to keep Maria from getting wet as her as her husband helped her into the back seat.

The Civil War in El Salvador was an event that most individuals misunderstood. A twelve year conflict and a power struggle that claimed to keep communism out of El Salvador killed 75,000 people and the whole story still remains untold. The Civil War in El Salvador was a conflict that roughly started in 1980 and ended with the peace accords in 1992. These dates are rough because there were many conflicts before 1980 and even after the peace accords were signed in 1992 the “death squads [1] ” were still active every now and again. With respect to United States involvement, the reason the United States was initially involved was to block communist rule from spreading to

Women has been always facing a lot of issues just for being women, society has been a problem for women because people are prone to categorize and how women are being educated is what will define them. But not every woman has the opportunity to get education or a decent work, Women are forced to work in any type of work that does not require a degree or education. Textile factories place their manufactured in poor areas as Central America, In El Salvador is one of the most poor countries in Central America following by Nicaragua. Salvadoran women who haven’t received any kind of education seems to be forced to work in textile mills or most known as maquilas because they have necessities and food to bring home for their kids. When Salvadoran

It was a busy July day in San Salvador, El Salvador. I was traveling from the center of the capitol to my aunt’s home in the outskirts of the city. Traffic was chaotic as usual, I did not suspect to face anything out of the ordinary, but hasty bus drivers and angry automobile conductors. After half an hour of the mundane traffic and of constant honking, we came across a closed off lane by an ambulance and police cars. It was evident what happened; a man was murdered during broad daylight. The man was lying down facing up with his left hand extended out motionless. A trail of blood came from his upper right pectoral. A man was murdered and the cops did not do anything to make sure the man was protected from the general population. They did not even have the decency to cover the man with black plastic as usual protocol would call for. It was

I was 9 or 10 years of age in church on a Wednesday services in El Salvador, my country. We the kids were suppose to have had a class apart with from the general congregation but that day we had visitors from the USA, so it was a especial kind of services. I remember well, the praise and worship team lead us into worship and all of the sudden someone from the section where the women stated speaking in a different language. It sounded like in the movies we saw on TV, a different kind of verbal communication. Now, the language we speak in El Salvador is Spanish and only Spanish. Especially people that lived in the country, where there is limited education like where Martha, the lady we identified as the one speaking in a different dialect. Everybody got quiet and everyone was able to hear Martha’s voice speaking in a new kind of language. After 3 to 5 minutes of

Dollarization is the process in which nations “replace their domestic currencies [with foreign legal tender] …to obtain economic growth and stability” (Rivera-Solis 330). The US dollar is the most common choice of exchange in this practice, though the adoption of other first world states currencies may be entertained as well. Though its effects are not instant, US dollarization has brought many gradual benefits to the economic statuses of several countries. There are two types of dollarization: official and unofficial. In the process of official dollarization, a state gives complete monetary control to a foreign nation, ceding its right to both create a central bank and issue a domestic form of currency. Where as a nation loses its sovereignty to make decisions concerning its money supply in official dollarization, unofficial dollarization allows states to keep most of its control in place. Nations who implement dollarization unofficially keep their ability to own a central bank to fall back on, in cases of economic emergency, and regulate their own currency. Some studies encourage the promotion of official dollarization, while other scorn it’s outcome and option for its slighter counterpart, partial dollarization, instead. This paper explores the differences in both policies and the effects of dollarization on four separate nations: El Salvador, Panama, Zimbabwe, and the British Virgin
