    History of Central America

    Central America is commonly said to include Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. This definition matches modern political borders. Central America begins geographically in Mexico, at the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Mexico's narrowest point, and the former country of Yucatán was part of Central America. At the other end, before its independence in 1903 Panama was part of South America, as it was a Department of Colombia. At times Belize, a British colony until 1981, where English instead of Spanish is spoken, and where the population is primarily of African origin, has been considered not part of Central America. Long and narrow, Central America does not have an obvious geographical center. Until the middle of the 20th century there were no roads between the countries, which isolated them from each other, and railroads have never connected them. During colonial times Guatemala was the administrative and religious center; religiously it remains so. Wikipedia

    About 25 years ago William Griffith reviewed the historiography of Central America since 1830 1 and noted the tendency of much of the writing on Central American history to be characterized by high passion. "Most modern works on political and military subjects," wrote Griffith, "are dominated by the spirit of passion perhaps more thoroughly than were the events which they record."
