México and Central America: millennial bilateral history

Abstract

Abstract: This historical article exposes a prolific series of events, characters, dates and incidents that have developed for centuries between Mexico (officially known as the United Mexican States) and Central America (made up of the Republics of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua), whose most remote antecedents began precisely thousands of years ago as a result of the first migrations of individuals that populated their respective territories. Thus, the mutual paths that the Mexican and Central American regions have played over time are described in detail, exposing what refers to the pre-Columbian era and the colonial stage, what happened during the nineteenth century and the twentieth century, until covering the first two decades of the XXI century. All this under the premise of verifying the multifaceted and solid bilateral link that has existed between these countries since ancient times.
