Nationality: Honduran

Honduran Independence Declared On: Es el 15 de Septiembre, 1821.

Honduran Independence Day Celebrated On: Es el 15 de Septiembre, 1821.

Brief History: Early Honduras was made up of its indigenous people when the Spanish came to claim it. They went to Honduras because of reports of gold in the town of Gracias, so they decided to take it over and make it their capital of Spanish Central America in 1544. That gold didn’t last, though, and four years later the Spaniards packed up and left the town of Gracias and went to the new capital of the Kingdom of Guatemala, Santiago.

In the 20th century, the Honduran people declared war on Germany in World War I, but they didn’t really play a role in the outcome. World War II, however, was where they played an active role in helping the Allied Forces. They brought surplus food like bananas, coconuts, and compras, but it came at a cost. Widespread unemployment and poverty swept the nation of Honduras, leading to political and civil unrest. The government of Honduras eventually found a way out of its own poverty, establishing many beneficial reforms.

Political corruption swept the nation of Honduras in 2014 when Juan Orlando Hernandez was inaugurated as president. He was said to be involved in the bilking of hundreds of millions of Honduran citizens’ dollars. This led to a near nationwide protest in 2015 involving thousands of Hondurans.

In 1806 he was able to gather a small group of people (who wanted money) in the USA and Caribbean and invaded Venezuela. He controlled the town of Coro for about two weeks before the Spanish drove him out. Although the invasion was not quite a success, he had proven to many that independence was not an impossible dream.

April 19, 1810: Venezuela Declares Independence

By early 1810, Venezuela was ready for independence, which was very close to the time they were invaded. Ferdinand VII, the heir to the Spanish crown, was a prisoner of Napoleon of France, who became the ruler of Spain. Even those Creoles who supported Spain in the New World were very surprised.

On April 19, 1810, Venezuelan Creole patriots held a meeting in Caracas (the capital of Venezuela) where they declared independence. Anybody who really wanted to be completely independent thought that it was only a half victory.

Cuba’s history began with Christopher Columbus in 1492. It all began with the invasion of the island of the spaniards. The people Guanahatabey, Ciboney and Taino inhabited the island but were soon eliminated and die for diseases or the shock of conquests. Subsequent Cuban society was limited, and Spanish culture, institutions, language, and religion was prevailed. Colonial societies started to form after spain colonized the island in the 16th and 17th centuries. The first three centuries after the conquest, the island remained neglected and a stopping point for the spanish fleet. Cuba was transformed into a major sugar producer in the world. Cuba used to be recognized as the sleepy and unimportant country. Most countries were breaking off of spain, but Cuba remained loyal. Cuba was in the 10 years war against spain but it didn’t gain independence for Cuba. Cuba’s independence leader Jose Marti, was killed during this war. This resulted of increasingly strained relations between Spain and the U.S. Americans entered in to the conflict in 1898. The U.S emerged as victorious power in the spanish-american war. Cuba launched into nationhood with less problems than most Latin American nations. Their prosperity increased during the early years.

In 1523, a man whose name is  Pedro de Alvarado is sent to the south to take control of a smaller area.. After a long  year, he finally was able to overcome the territory of El Salvador.

In the year of 1821, the 15th day of the month of September, Guatemala gained their independence from Spain . Later in the year of 1821, they offered to merge with Mexico and become one nation together. This merge was mainly because of the intense leadership of Agustín de Iturbide towards the colonists of Guatemala. In the year of 1822, Mexico’s emperor suddenly left. This gave Guatemala the decision to stay with Mexico or to become independent by themselves. On February 18th of the year 1823, the decision was made. Their decision ended up being to become their own independent country. After a while, the Guatemalan government split the colony into 4 main régions: El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Each one of them have their own independence.

The Audience was known as the Audiencia de Charcas however they were very ignorant of the situation of the people. They still considered themselves superior to the people. The first wave of nationalist uprisings in Bolivia occurred in 1809 when the government juntas of Charcas and La Paz were formed as a reaction to the events in Spain—the chaotic, almost anarchic, situation in Spain was duplicating itself in Bolivia. The juntas were able to promote and encourage the independence movement which was kept alive by a six guerrilla armies that formed away from the cities and took control of various regions of Bolivia. In 1810, these six breakaway regions would be known as republiquetas which can also be known as the little republics and each were headed by a caudillo which is a military director.

5. Panama gained their independence not once, but twice. First from Spain on November 21st, 1851 then from Colombia on November 18th, 1903. Because of Panama connected between the pacific ocean and the caribbean, it was used as a means to plunder and invade Peru, but also as a way to get the gold and other valuables out to Spain. This, in turn, attracted the attention of pirates and soon the Caribbean coast line was dotted with pirates. After shippers couldn’t pass by Panama safely, it lost its importance to Spain and was ‘handed off’ to Colombia. Panama, still loyal to the Spanish Throne, continued with traditional Spanish traditions. Years later, a small Panamanian faction backed by the Panama Canal issued a declaration of independence called the Hay-Herran treaty. After being declined by Colombia, the U.S. gave approval to a rebellion by the Panama Nationalists. Finally on November 18th, the Hay-Bunau-Varilla was signed granted independence to Panama.

Not all parts of Puerto Rico celebrates Independence Day . A variety of many groups, political parties, organisations, and etc. worked for many centuries to gain Puerto Rico’s Independence Day . The fifth plebiscite was held in June . Puerto Ricans could vote whether they wanted to be apart of America, have an Independence Day, or they could maintain a territorial status. After voting, having an Independence Day only got 1.5% votes . People who preferred to have an Independence Day later on boycotted the election . Puerto Rico ended up voting on their future five more times with the United States. They soon came to a conclusion and voted on having statehood, independence, and to have remaining territory . Just like the beginning.  Later on Puerto Rico went into an extreme bankrupt and needed America more than anything .  Puerto Rico had to move on with no money involved and no consent of the Justice Department . Many people complained and tried to get the government to wait for the ballot to get reviewed . But he went on anyways . A former secretary, Kenneth McClintock,  gave a speech to all Puerto Rico. He made a point that they no longer can make Puerto Rico great again with having the U.S flag under them all the time . He pointed out that they needed statehood . That is how they finally got their Independence Day . Now Puerto Ricans celebrate it on July fourth just like America .

Costa Rica fought against the Spanish colonies. They fought for years. The Mexican war lasted from 1810 to 1821. Costa Rica became part of the Mexican Empire in 1821, they were independent from the other Spanish country. They were part of the Federal Republic of Central America until 1823. They gained their full independence in 1823 from the Spanish colonies. Their economy struggled in the beginning because they had no communication with England. Costa Rica made a proper democratic government after 1869. They struggled for a long time before they had a stable government and met the needs of the people who lived and fought with them. They had their full independence and proper government system by 1978. By this time they were still going through transformation but they had a working government system, but they continued to struggle to get money income, so they relied on exporting bananas and coffee. After they were able to get a small income it became easier to be independent country. Today they continue to celebrate their independence in many ways. They don’t celebrate their independence like america. They celebrate their culture with their independence.

Independencia: Peru celebran su independencia en July 28

Brief History:

Peru gained its independence on July 28, 1821 when Jose de San Martin and his men claimed their independence from Spain. Peru was originally discovered in 1513 but it wasn’t until 1524 that an exploration took place and the land of Peru was officially discovered. The leading cause for the gain of independence all started in 1808 with the Napoleon invasion of Spain and the two colonies struggled with one another for their independence. The people of Peru stayed true to the colonie because of the conservative attitude. Conservative attitude means to preserve existing conditions or institutions in a traditional or and fair manner. The Declaration of Independence of Peru was signed by the people of Lima. The people of Lima had to take an oath and the signing of the independence took place on July 15, 1821. Jose de San Martin and Simon Bolivar were the two leading figures of the two South American wars for independence. Simon Bolivar was a Venezuelan military and political leader declined to help Jose de San Martin liberate Peru’s independence, but then gained the power of Peru and led them through their struggle for independence.  In the end Peru gained their independence and to this day still celebrate through a two day celebration on July 28 and 29.

They were fairly developed societies, just behind the nearby Incan civilization of Peru.

The first Europeans to arrive were the Spanish, who founded the first settlement of Santa Marta in 1525. A few years later, in 1538, Bogota was founded and grew into a large city which would later, in 1717, become the capital of the local Spanish interests including what is today Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela.

On July 20, 1810, Spain under pressure, was forced to agree to allow for a limited independence which later became permanent. In 1813 Colombia declared independence from Spain. In 1819 they formed the Republic of Greater Colombia. Military hero Simon Bolivar was the first president. The country has experienced two major civil wars. The first lasted from 1899 to 1903 and was called The War of a Thousand Days. The second civil war took place from 1946 to 1957 and was called La Violencia, which means The Violence. 1980s was when a drug cartel started creating havoc. The leader of the cartel was Pablo Escobar he killed a presidential candidate but by 1989 he was shot and killed.

Until 1776, Argentina was divided into different areas, it wasn’t a whole country. They gradually became united as time passed. The movement for Argentina’s independence began on May 25, 1810. This day is known as Revolution Day. This date marks the long and difficult journey José de San Martin began. The journey consisted of military struggle and fighting under the leadership of the revolutionary and military strategist, Gen.  José de San Martin was born in 1778 and died in 1850. He was known as the father of his country. Military campaigns led by General José de San Martín between 1814 and 1817 gave more strength to the factions that supported the independence movements. On July 9th, 1816, marked one of the biggest turning points for Argentina. The Congress of Tucuman passed a revolution declaring independence from Spain of the Provincias Unidas de América del Sur. This included Uruguay, Paraguay, and Bolivia. The declared supreme director was Juan Martin de Pueyrredon.

Trade restrictions were relaxed, steps were taken toward the eventual abolition of slavery, a newspaper was established to publicize the beliefs of the patriots, and education was promoted, including the founding of the National Institute. However, the embers of civil strife were also fanned. The Creoles were divided over how far the colony should go toward self-government( Creoles were mixed European and black descent people).
