Description

Central America is an extraordinarily beautiful part of the world, with sweeping panoramic vistas of tropical vegetation, towering mountains, and striking ethnic and racial diversity.

This tropical paradise has a history as diverse as its people and cultures.

Starting with the Maya in ancient Mesoamerica, the History of Central America continues with European contact and the subsequent subjugation of the people of Central America.

Spaniards established and ruled their Central American empire during the Colonial period.

This led to the National period, independence movements, and the subsequent development of independent, sovereign Central American nations.

By the mid-20th century, the economies, governments, and populations of the seven republics had evolved so distinctly that each has its own unique set of challenges to deal with today.

Pearcy examines the development of each individual nation and the regional similarities that propelled or constrained that development. Ideal for students and general readers, the History of Central America is part of Greenwood's Histories of Modern Nations series.

With over 30 nations' histories in print, these books provide readers with a concise, up-to-date history of countries throughout the world.

Reference features include a biographical section highlighting famous figures in Central American history, a timeline of important historical events, a glossary of terms, and a bibliographical essay with suggestions for further reading.
