El Salvador, officially the Republic of El Salvador, is a country in Central America. It is bordered on the northeast by Honduras, on the northwest by Guatemala, and the south by the Pacific Ocean. El Salvador's capital and largest city is San Salvador. The country's population in 2023 was estimated to be 6.5 million.
Among the Mesoamerican nations that historically controlled the region were the Mayans and the Cuzcatlecs. Archaeological monuments also suggest an early Olmec presence around the first millennium BC. At the beginning of the 16th century, the Spanish Empire conquered Central American territory, incorporating it into the Viceroyalty of New Spain, which Mexico City ruled. However, the Viceroyalty of New Spain had little to no influence on the daily affairs of the isthmus, which was colonized in 1524. In 1609, the area was declared the Captaincy General of Guatemala by the Spanish, which included the territory that would become El Salvador until its independence from Spain in 1821. It was forcibly incorporated into the First Mexican Empire, then seceded, joining the Federal Republic of Central America in 1823. When the federation dissolved in 1841, El Salvador became a sovereign state. Then, it formed a short-lived union with Honduras and Nicaragua called the Greater Republic of Central America, which lasted from 1895 to 1898.
From the late 19th to the mid-20th century, El Salvador endured chronic political and economic instability characterized by coups, revolts, and a succession of authoritarian rulers. Persistent socioeconomic inequality and civil unrest culminated in the Salvadoran Civil War from 1979 to 1992, fought between the military-led government backed by the United States and a coalition of left-wing guerrilla groups. The conflict ended with the Chapultepec Peace Accords. This negotiated settlement established a multiparty constitutional republic, which remains in place today. Many Salvadorans emigrated to the United States during the Civil War and afterward. From 1980 through 2008, nearly one million Salvadorans immigrated to the United States; by 2008, they were the sixth largest immigrant group in the US.
El Salvador's economy has historically been dominated by agriculture, beginning with the Spanish taking control of the Indigenous cacao crop in the 16th century, with production centered in Izalco, along with balsam from the ranges of La Libertad and Ahuachapán. A boom followed this in using indigo plants in the 19th century, mainly for their use as a dye. After that, the focus shifted to coffee, which by the early 20th century accounted for 90% of export earnings. El Salvador has since reduced its dependence on coffee, diversifying its economy by opening up trade and financial links and expanding the manufacturing sector. The colón, the currency of El Salvador since 1892, was replaced by the United States dollar in 2001. El Salvador ranks 124th among 189 countries in the Human Development Index. As of 2019, economic improvements have led El Salvador to experience the lowest level of income inequality among nearby countries. Among 77 countries in a 2021 study, El Salvador had one of the least complex economies for doing business.
