Salvadorian Civil War (may 16, 1932 – jan 22, 1933)
Description:
After a coup in El Salvador by Maximiliano Hernández Martínez, discontent at his extremist policies culminated in a revolt in the East led by Farabundo Martí wishing to bring Socialism to El Salvador. The support of Guatemalan exiles and the morale among the people from the recently successful Nicaraguan Revolution managed to make this period go on until January of 1933 with over 50,000 dead as a result.Added to timeline:
