This Week in Latin American History, 09-15 October 2011
Monday, October 10 El Salvador Creation of Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN) (1980). Organized from four separate leftist guerilla organizations, the FMLN was formed on Oct 10, 1980 to fight against the El Salvador government. The largest FMLN offensive occurred in 1989 when insurgent troops entered and seized many parts of the capital. The United States, fearful of a communist satellite being established in Central America, backed the Salvadoran government. Between 1979 and 1989 approximately 75,000 troops and civilians were killed in the El Salvador Civil War in fighting between government and insurgent forces. Following peace negotiations in 1992, the FMLN lay down its weapons and entered the El Salvador political process as a legitimate public organization. In 2003, the FMLN won the most seats of any other party during the elections for the National Assembly. Today they continue as a political. . . and peaceful. . . entity in Salvadoran politics.

Sunday, Sept 04 Chile's Salvador Allende inaugurated as President (1970).
