Civil War in El Salvador

The Civil War in El Salvador (1980-1992) was an intense conflict between the government, supported by the U.S., and leftist guerrillas seeking social and economic reform. Rooted in deep inequalities and political repression, the war caused widespread violence, loss of lives, and displacement of civilians. Peace negotiations eventually led to an agreement, establishing democratic elections and social reforms. The conflict highlighted struggles over land, justice, and power, leaving a lasting impact on El Salvador’s society and politics.
