This video literally took forever… I lost motivation so many times during this video too but it’s finally done :)

Time for the historical context…Hang with me guys!
Well let’s start small. El Salvador and Honduras are 2 Central American countries. El Salvador is 5 times smaller than Honduras yet their population is still 40% larger(During the time of this event!). Therefore around 300k Salvadorians had moved to Honduras. Honduras soon after enforced a new land reform law. The law gave the central government and municipalities much of the land occupied illegally by Salvadoran immigrants and redistributed it to native-born Hondurans. Then you can see from 0:00 - 0:16 the buildup. You can see the football as more of a breaking point than an actual reason for the war. (0:17) The same day El Salvador dissolved all diplomatic relations with Honduras,stating that in the 10 days since the first game, 11k Salvadorans have been forced to flee Honduras. They also said that Honduras had done nothing to prevent murder,oppression,rape,etc…. and that the Honduran government had not taken effective measures to punish the criminals for their crimes against Salvadorians. I feel like the video explains pretty good what happens after that. (0:33) The invasion begins and El Salvador starts by bombing the Toncontin international airport and starting their major offensive. El Salvador rapidly nears the capital,the OAS was immediately concerned when the war started, Nicaragua aids Honduras through giving it ammunition & weapons, Honduras finally gets its airforce into the sky and bombs oil factories & airbases. {0:44} (the left one was supposed to be Acajutla, a city with most of El Salvador’s oil bases,but it didn’t have a flag so I went with the department instead. The right one is San Salvador, El Salvador’s capital where they were struck at Ilopango airbase.) After Honduras airforce started striking places El Salvador’s offensive stopped and after that it’s a stalemate until the OAS managed to get a ceasefire. El Salvador was then forced to remove its troops from Honduras on the 2 august. Then I feel like the video explains it good enough to know what happened next.
Damn finally done with writing this goddamn essay. :p
