The El Salvador civil war in central Central America resulted in the killing of young men of the National Liberation Front guerrilla forces by the death squads of the El Salvador military government. There was mass abuse and genocide by the military government against all rebel groups, including assassination squads and indiscriminate attacks on civilians, especially in rural areas. The indiscriminate violence fueled a guerrilla insurgency and a full-scale civil war ensued. As Third World economies became impoverished, the gap between the rich and poor widened among the majority of citizens. In El Salvador, 77% of the cultivable land belonged to .01% of the population. A handful of privileged groups control the real power. The economic impoverishment causes social unrest that escalates into a serious reorganization of the social system and armed suppression. Some of the privileged classes oppressed the citizens by force to suppress the social unrest in order to retain their vested interests. Governments controlled by the privileged class import large amounts of weapons from developed countries. As it trades more and more products with the developed countries, it imports more and more, the currency rate worsens, and it borrows more and more from the developed countries. Social unrest causes extreme unrest among citizens, leading to civil unrest. In order to suppress the civil war, a military coup d'état led to the excessive import of military weapons, and a military government was established.
The El Salvadoran Civil War, which broke out between the military government of El Salvador and the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN) from October 15, 1979 to January 16, 1992, was a military coup that took place on October 15, 1979. The military coup d'état on October 15, 1979 was followed by the military government's killing of anti-coup rebels and the guerrillas' killing of the military regime, and the beginning of the civil war. About 30,000 people were killed by right-wing death squads backed by government forces between 1979 and 1981.On December 11, 1981, they carried out the indiscriminate El Mozote massacre of more than 733 unarmed civilians, including about 146 women and children, in El Mozode, Morassán province.
The disastrous civil war lasted for more than about 12 years. The civil war lasted for more than 12 years, during which the military government's Death Squad, trained in the U.S., deliberately targeted civilians and committed abuses and massacres, mainly through the military government's suppression of human rights, including the assassination of Catholic clergy, the murder of union leaders, activists, students and teachers, and the recruitment of child soldiers. committed kidnappings, bombings, and bank robberies to increase the revolution in the 1970s; in the 1980s, the FMLN killed several mayors, informants, and traitors. While a large number of civilians went missing, the United Nations reported that the El Salvador civil war killed more than about 75,000 people between 1979 and 1992. As a result of the civil war, nearly one million people were forcibly displaced within El Salvador and became refugees in Central America, Mexico, and the United States. The civil war ended with the Chapultepec Peace Accord on January 16, 1992.
The U.S. government joined the military regime in the civil war by providing the military government of El Salvador with military aid of about one to two million dollars per day, and by providing necessary military training. The Salvadoran military government was considered a friendly ally by the U.S. during the Cold War, and by May 1983, U.S. military officers occupied senior positions in the El Salvadoran military, making key decisions and manipulating the civil war. Counterinsurgency tactics often targeted civilian populations indiscriminately. The UN estimated that the FMLN guerrillas were responsible for about 5% of the violence against civilians during the civil war, while the El Salvadoran military and assassination squads were responsible for about 85%. starting in 1990, the UN began peace negotiations for the El Salvador civil war and dispatched the United Nations Monitoring Mission in El Salvador. The final agreement, the Chapultepec Peace Accord, was signed in Mexico City, officially ending the civil war.
