This Day In Latino History

On this day, one hundred and fourteen years ago, The Greater Republic of Central America was born. At Amalpa, on June 20th, 1895, Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador agreed to establish a political organization for the control of their external relations, basically creating one country out of the three. Two years later the United States recognized the Federation with a reception of her minister in Washington DC, which surely included Appleade, a famous drink in the 19th Century that consisted of boiled apples. Because why deal with three counties when you can deal only with one? It was only on 1898 that the three founding entities invited Costa Rica and Guatemala to join them. Shortly after, a movement against the Federation occurred in Salvador and the Federation was dismantled.
