- This El Salvador history documentary is a unique summary of the ancient history of the country of El Salvador. It covers the history of this country from Lenca to President Funes.
El Salvador, officially the Republic of El Salvador (Spanish: República de El Salvador, literally "Republic of The Saviour"), is the smallest and the most densely populated country in Central America. It is bordered on the northeast by Honduras, on the northwest by Guatemala, and on the south by the Pacific Ocean. El Salvador's capital and largest city is San Salvador. As of 2018, the country had a population of approximately 6.42 million, mostly consisting of European and Native American descent.
El Salvador was, for millennia, controlled by several Mesoamerican nations, especially Lenca, early Mayans, then later the Cuzcatlecs[13] up until the Spanish conquest. Archaeological monuments also suggest an early Olmec presence around the first millennium BCE. In the early 16th century, the Spanish Empire conquered the territory, incorporating it into the Viceroyalty of New Spain ruled from Mexico City. However the Viceroyalty of Mexico had little to no influence in the daily affairs of the Central American isthmus, which would be colonized in 1524. In 1609 the area became the Captaincy General of Guatemala, of which El Salvador was part until its independence from Spain, which took place in 1821, as part of the First Mexican Empire, then later seceded, as part of the Federal Republic of Central America, in 1823. When the Republic dissolved in 1841, El Salvador became a sovereign nation, then 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 devastating Salvadoran Civil War (1979-1992), which was fought between the military-led government 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 to this day.
El Salvador's economy has historically been dominated by agriculture, beginning with the indigo plant (añil in Spanish), the most important crop during the colonial period, and followed thereafter by coffee, which by the early 20th century accounted for 90% of export earnings. El Salvador has since reduced its dependence on coffee and embarked on 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.

Good documentary El Salvador always betrayed by its own ppl as you see Mauricio Funes 1srt president from FMLN ppl put all their hopes in this man and now he’s a fugitive living in Nicaragua because of robbing his own country $350 Million dollars
Awesome! Thank you
No somos indigenas porque no estamos en la India, somos pueblos originarios de América o Nativos de América.
Wow the Pipil fought valiantly. I see where our courage and strength comes from.
People from El Salvador are some warriors
Because we Pipils of course
@@fantastixfilms5372 Which were descended from the Aztecs from Mexico
@@frisco9568 some of us are also lencas or both. I got more Lenca than I do Pipil since I’m from the eastern regions
@@frisco9568 mid
I’m Salvadoran but born in the US , I never got to learn of my home country, so this was a great start thank you
It's my pleasure! Thank you for watching!
Same. I’m 26 and I don’t know much I’m going to visit in December I’m excited
@@XxAlex530xX excited for you! I’m 27 and haven’t gone yet, my parents have plans to tho. Enjoy it! Hope you get to meet distance relatives.
@@XxAlex530xX you mind me asking where your going, I was in La Palma in July is was the best time of my life I was so happy to see all my family for the first time and it was my dads first time back in 24 years. I hope everyone can get the chance to go there and enjoy it I can’t wait to go back.
My husband is from El Salvador & I just wanna go and see all the history that I never learned in school.
The history is full of corruption and some of hollow earth
@@hansitaannasen1388 lots of that for sure. but I'm talking about the indigenous roots, the food, the dialects. I'm Mexican and him and I speak different with some things. I'd love to learn more about that. :)
@@hansitaannasen1388 I don't know where are you from, but about your comment, which part of the histories from all over the world are not tainted with corruption, betrayal and all that?
@tori thank you! ❤️ me tooooo
My dads from el Salvador, I've been lucky enough to go there multiple times to see family. Its a true adventure!
Proud to be a Salvadoran! We have endured so much and yet continue. Fight my wanakos for all of our ancestors who gave their lives for us!!
You left out Archbishop Romero our most tragic and significant lost marking the beginning of the civil war.
Good video
I wished you had mentioned him in this video
Factss
As a Salvadoran who was born in El Salvador but having to go to the US at a young age,I didn’t really learn about my home Country, Thank You For This Educational Video that helped me learn my Country’s History!!!🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻💙💙💙
Same here! Born there but was adopted.
Beautiful I can't wait to go back to mi tierra 🏄🏄🏄🏄🏄🏄🏄🏄🏄🏄🏄🏄🏄
Gracias por hacer un video desde los primeros pueblos indígenas hasta lo que es en la actualidad mi pais El Salvador :'D
Wonderful history, thank you. I would imagine most of the tourism comes from those of us who fled the country and still keep close ties to our ancestry. The place is beautiful and addictive to visit yearly:-) Not to mention the food and the fun atmosphere!
Can u provide the statistics to back up your claim? I'm intrigued now.
@@strgzr2971 it's not a tourist attractions if you are foreigner..he is right ..most of the ones who go back are originally from there
@@jennifer7022 usually you'd want to back up your claim(s) by providing a study or solid statistics; otherwise credibility is hard to establish.
Can’t wait to go back home! Been 17 years, I miss mi pulgarcito

Bellezas salvadoreñas bonitos documentales adelanté desde mi pulgarcito el Salvador
lindo el salvador .
Indeed. Thank you for watching!
My parent are both 🇸🇻 n I’m proud to be one as well n lately I been wanted to learn bout my culture n are ancestors the whole history
I enjoyed learning about this beautiful country. It’s sad that poverty and lack of opportunities play such a large role STILL. I just came from an amazing vacation in Playa San Diego and one thing I always realized in school was, what some of us in the “US” call paradise is hell for the people that have to live there day to day. They don’t benefit from the tourism.
My lady lives and is from Santa Ana. She doesn’t even have an address, it’s hard out there. Everyone just wants an opportunity. Going through the process of trying to bring her to the US isn’t easy either!
I love El Salvador ❤🙏🏽
I am glad. you made this documentary fun and easy to understand the history of El Salvador.

AFTER HE DIED WELL I DONT KNOW .
El Salvador is a great place, the media doesn’t depict it that way but soon they will
@@joserivas2623 La Mara my dude.
Nice job
Thank you very much!
Thank you for this documentary.
Very informative 👍
Thank you!
Could you please delete the name of that ex president fines, he is the most corrupt presidente , please El Salvador people will appreciate more respect , funes doesn’t deserves to be named
! The video is amazing!
Bukele rocks
And we la diaspora rock more then funes and all the other presidents before....
Wanakos
@@presidentialrenegade8840 no. Deleting his name means deleting history. No matter how corrupt it’s important to keep history the way it happened.
Right,,that pig of funes stole a lot
I got really disappointed when I heard about the money laundering thing. I thought he was such a good president, but he's just like the others. Same with Bukele, the reason he wants to switch to Bitcoin is so he can money launder, probably.
Thank you..
El Salvador still trying to get independence. Now that in 2021 against the 3% of government officials that don't want to leave their governmental positions because the 97% of Salvadoreans do not feel represented by them. The president Nayib Armando Bukele Ortez have been doing an excellent job. This month on February 28 are the election for new "Asamblea Legislativa". If the election is won by Nuevas Ideas El Salvador will become with out a doubt a first World country.
We can only hope! VIVA LA REPUBLICA
What is now?Salvador become first world country?
Bukele will end up privatizing the last assets left in El Salvador, the natural resources. He is clearly a dictator. It's not like he's doing things in a safe way like Costa Rica, he is the only president who refuses to sign the Escazu Agreement. He may be more educated and intelligent than the previous presidents, but he's full of shit.
@@lucya25vega that's because it's a bad deal due to article 7.
De eso es que estamos hechos de valor y salir adelante sangre de gente guerrera y rica en cultura con laciuda de ponpeya de america el tazumal y joya de ceren
Salvadorans have suferred so much. Spain only came to plunder. They faced communism. However, the current Pdte. Bukele gives them so much hope for a better future. What a beautiful country
We never had communism lmfao. Don’t blame communism for the problems in our country when capitalism is the one that has ruined our country
Capitalism ruined El Salvador. It was colonized because of Capitalism. Money laundering plagues the government, even in the best presidents.
@@xe7535,hey nothing is worse than comunism they are garbage simple like what and Fmln is what.
@@xe7535 communist is exactly what brought destruction to El Salvador you clearly don’t j so what you’re talking about. Promised peace and prosperity for everyone and took advantage of those that believed in them to make themselves rich while kids didn’t even have schools to be educated in.
@@JuanRomero-dz5sy FMLN can burn
Good video sir
Thank you!
My home is El salvador😁
Wow thank you! I didn’t know the history, I’m from El Salvador.
My country always proud to be Salvadorian we will always push forward in life no matter what still proud my family 😊😊
Nice
Glad to see El Salvador becoming rich.
Proud to be a 100%Guanaco! I got to live out there for 8months and it's 8 months of pure humility. There's Nothing like El Salvador.
28% from El Salvador genetically proven Native American I'm connected to the land by story and by DNA testing proving my family's history and story amazing thank you ancestry
A more overlooked kind of history
Me gusta mucho el vídeo
Maybe do something on Nayib Bukele? Just watching this and it’s 2023 now… Nice vid👍🏼
Complete 👍
Thank you!
We the 97% of Salvadoran support our president Nayib Bukele, Bukele =Hope. Bukele the best president el Salvadoran ever had. FMLN & ARENA the worst. RIP 🪦 ARENA &FMLN
Bukele will end up privatizing the last assets left in El Salvador, the natural resources. He is clearly a dictator. It's not like he's doing things in a safe way like Costa Rica, he is the only president who refuses to sign the Escazu Agreement. He may be more educated and intelligent than the previous presidents, but he's full of shit.
Nayib bukele , el mejor presidente de la historia de El Salvador
El Salvador is amazing. Period.
There are several inaccuracies in this but it is overall a pretty fair documentary
for example?
Visit Egypt 🇪🇬 and Morocco 🇲🇦 next also Yemen 🇾🇪
Great video, thank you, there’s some things missing but what can you expect to cover in less than twenty minutes 😂, just so foreigners know, El Salvador used to be very violent because the gangs had taken over but that has changed with new efforts the president is making, so come on over and visit us😊
My paternal grandmother was 1/2 El Salvador Indian. Wish that I knew her story.
There's no such thing as "El Salvador Indian." There's only NATIVE AMERICAN.
@@strgzr2971 Before the Spanish colonial period, El Salvador was inhabited by large groups indigenous populations. Such as Lenca, Nahua Pipil, Cacaopera, Maya Chorti and Maya Pocomam. They are indigenous El Salvadorans or El Salvador Indians.
@@gondwanalon I agree that they are indigenous people. However, saying they are "Indians" is wrong. Indians are in the country of India! When the Spanish arrived in the new world, they thought they had made it to India. Thus, they called the indigenous people "Indians." You see how your term is wrong now? Again, no such thing as Indians in ES, or anywhere in the Americas for that matter.
@@strgzr2971 Right or wrong the indigenous people in the Americas have been and still are called “Indians”. Sorry but you can’t change that. Everyone knows the difference between American Indians and the people living in India.
@@gondwanalon actually, I can. What I do is I EDUCATE people with the FACTS, just like I did with you. However, people CAN choose to continue to live in ignorance. Most will simply do their own research to validate what I say. You're still wrong to call native Americans "Indians." Lmao

My dad is from El Salvador 😊
My grandma was India and she die couple years ago at 99.5 years
She was "india"? As an from India? I think you mean she was Native American
@@strgzr2971 what the hell are you then? You must be India too.
1:05 where can I find the full picture of that painting? where can i google search it?
🇸🇻💪👍
Spain did not "conquered" the land they invaded it and stole it, just like most Europeans have done to this continent and all around the world, get it right! And the correct term is Salvadorans not Salvadorians.
Its both but as a salvadorian ive never said salvadoran
Exactly.... people already made it lingo so your sol Nelson 😎
Lol quit blaming the Europeans for the same thing the indigenous people did to each other. The indigenous people fought and killed raped and kidnap other indigenous tribes. The Europeans were fare more advanced than the indigenous people and without the Europeans there would be no planes, medicine and hospitals, cell phones, TV ect... The natives would still be living in the jungle like they did 1000 years ago... Thank God for the Europeans!
And whether anyone here like or No, THEY ARE And THEY come from legit NATIVE AMERICANS.
Hispanic heritage month is Stockholm Syndrome Month, as we confuse ourselves more with European identity. Hispanic/Hispano means someone from Hispania (Lat) España (Spa) Spain (Eng) to whom we, Brown People have no relation to. Did You Know....It wasn’t until 1975 that a group of federal employees in the Ad Hoc Committee on Racial & Ethnic Definitions used Hispanic to refer to all Spanish-speaking people, from the USA to South America, without regard to race. In 1980, the U.S. government first used “Hispanic” on census forms to impose a false identity on all spanish-speaking Brown People/Native Americans.
The overwhelming majority of so called Hispanics are actually mislabeled Native Americans. Your true identity had been hidden from you over the past several centuries so that you’ll never come around to wanting your land back and fighting the real Hispanic colonizers. It’s easier to steal a continent if you don’t identify the real owners. Calling yourselves Hispanic is Stockholm syndrome. You’re celebrating the rape theft murder & enslavement committed by Hispanics. You’re celebrating the mental enslavement and domination of your Hispanic slave handlers.
Brown people must unite under one single banner--Native American, that’s our race.
IF YOU AREN’T -
•ASIAN FROM ASIA
•BLACK FROM AFRICA
•WHITE FROM EUROPE
•THEN YOU’RE NATIVE AMERICAN FROM AMERICA
We must communicate in very simple clear terms, to the world that the abuse of Brown/NATIVE AMERICANS people in America is a continuation of a 526 year genocide against Native Americans from Patagonia to Alaska in order to maintain possession of stolen land and wealth. There is much more to our plan but there’s absolutely no way to stop the continued subjugation without doing these two things. Say it loud and clear, I am NATIVE AMERICAN! Not Hispanic not Latino not mestizo.
So they conquered it…lol.
voy buscando la historia de El Salvador aunque mi papá es hondureño porque somos la misma gente
I'm Salvadoran
No mention of Saint Romero???
I love my Pulgarcito de America 🌎💪🏼💓 y mi FMLN. Masha'Allah 🕊️☀️🦜🐦
😂FMLN. Your time is over.

What about the part of history of African slaves in El Salvador
A lot of people don't like to talk about that one. Many don't realize it even existed. However, its easy to look at some of the people and see that there was admixture. Certain tribes from Africa were literally shipped throughout the entire world. I am black my husband is from El Salvador so I did a good bit of research. I would like my children to know all of their history.
El Salvador didn't have slaves 😅🤔
@@jonathanpolio9362 they did tho
Every country in the history of mankind had slaves. The ancient Egyptians had slaves, the Ottoman empire had White slaves, Native Americans also enslaved their own people, White people, and Black people. ISIS still have sex slaves for their fighters. Human trafficking runs rampant in every corner of the Earth to this day.
So don't make this about race, because it's not.
El Slavador never had slaves. We do have a Afro- Salvadoran community tho. Very small community. I will find a video. Very interesting.
What was the name of the princess that organized resistance to conquistadors ?
On some sections of the video you copied word for word from Wikipedia.
Is it safe to go now ??
Crazy to think if my mother had never met her ex husband, who had a work contract in el salvador, she wouldn't have escaped el salvador and come to Denmark, where she later met my father and had me and my brother. Talk about fate...
Nicaragua, please.
you forgot el Zonte!!!
Awful music in the background way too loud
I might be directly descended from the first mayor of San Salvador...Diego Holguin Moraga
Or not.
Moving from estados unidos
So who copied who? Wikipedia copied the exact words of this video? Or the other way around
Pipil is pronounced like “pee peel”
Please do the UK next pleaseeee!
They got a lot of history and they have connections to the romanss
He andado en UA-cam por todos los canales viendo historia de Europa desde sus inicios con roma y Grecia toda la historia de mexico y nose nada de mi país el salvador no es posible que me interese por otras culturas y a mi país lo deje a un lado por esa razón ahora vine aprender algo de mi tierra realimentarme de conocimiento sobre mi país de el salvador soy y tampoco la are de menos o que no tenga la misma importancia que los demas paises tienen algunos salvadoreños dicen que no tenemos cultura y es la misma de mexico por nuestros ancestros aunque aquí cambiaron muchas cosas y por la independizacion idiviciones de países tratamos de ser autenticos aunque nuestras culturas y raíces esten en mexico todas las colonias esparcidas por todo Centro America vienen de ai porque el imperio estaba en mexico la civilizacion y todas las construcciones se puede decir la capital de todo Centro America la mesoamerica estaba en mexico
What about Francisco flores when he decided to remove our coin
can this be considered a scholarly source
*Salvadoran
It's actually "Salvadoran", just like those from Guatemala are Guatemalan and not Guatemalian, or those from Nicaragua are Nicaraguan and not Nicaraguian.
I’m Mexican/Salvadoran idk why there’s hate towards eachother
You don’t really talk about the civil war that happened
LAUD MUSIC
The way he says “pipil “ makes me cringe
Olmecs in El Salvador? Never heard this before..
Me neither, lencas yes...
The Olmecas lived way back in the past, before Christ era. They left constructions as evidence, for some reason they disappear and centuries later the land was taken by the Mayans, we are talking about the Western part of the country, from the Rio Lempa to the East, thats a different story, most of the time populated by the Lencas. The mayans also disappear from the Western part of the country around the Middle age of our Era and for a century was an empty land, probably by a natural disaster of a volcano eruption. Then the Nahuatls,(Pipiles), arrived from The North of the continent and is the heritage we the salvadorans carrier on traditions a on our DNA
Mexico pretty much started everything. All of these tribes began in Mexico/Guatemala area.
Umm it's Salvadoran NOT Salvadorian, otherwise loved the vid..
Similar history to Philiy
I grew up right when the war started and gang formed I think is a good documentary ....in the end we come from I Indian roots all of us we were call different t tribes that became country to states but we derived from ancestor Indians as well who were trying to make a name would be the logical ...is like a religion catholic to Christian a debate of power our ancestors came to be but maybe in the beginning we mix and of course the tried disappear all I know is there might have been no in-between or sides back then evryone was trying to claim land Spain Is consider as mother for us but it did conquer on the establish tribes of mix we sound speak Spanish if it weren't for Spain Mayan mesan we dint speak Spanish we speak tribe language sometimes the ignorerance of not knowing or wondering makes us rival but were not just someone decided just like a war ....the bosses decide or power or states just say were at war there all soldier will do is it right for u or anyone reading this 🤔 I rather die me Than follow orders when is not correct but I. The end we are enslaved whether it is a free country there always a puppeteer pulling string cuz thas how humans do anyhow hope u guys get me good nite
