El Salvador’s Civil War: A Historical Overview

The 12-year conflict left deep political and social scars across the nation.
El Salvador’s civil war, which raged from 1979 to 1992, remains one of Latin America’s most devastating conflicts, claiming tens of thousands of lives and reshaping the country’s political landscape.

The war ended with the signing of the Chapultepec Peace Accords, but its legacy of inequality, displacement, and human rights violations continues to shape Salvadoran society today.
