Central American Union 1921

1921–22

The PACT OF UNION among Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, signed at San José (Jan. 19, 1921). The agreement set up an indissoluble and perpetual union, to be called the Federation of Central America. A provisional federal council was organized (June 17), and Vicente Martínez of Guatemala became president. On Oct. 10 the federal constitution was completed, but once again the project of union was to be frustrated. On Dec. 8 a revolution broke out in Guatemala, directed against the government's policy of federation. With the success of this uprising the whole scheme fell through and the federation was dissolved (Jan. 29, 1922). In the ensuing years there was chronic trouble over borders between the different states, with occasional danger of war.
