Temperatures vary primarily with elevation and show little seasonal change. The Pacific lowlands are uniformly hot and humid; the central plateau and mountain areas are more moderate. El Salvador is about 8,124 mi². California is about 19 times bigger than El Salvador. I chose El Salvador because it seemed like a cool country and what the people that live there do. Very few Salvadorans now speak the indigenous language, which virtually disappeared after 1932, when General Maximilio Hernández Martínez suppressed rural resistance by massacring 30,000 mostly Indian rural peasants.El Salvador's violent crime crisis and the author of "Street Gangs of Central America," says the mano dura "worsened the situation." But the FMLN's policy of negotiating truces with the Maras "did not provide a road map as to [what] to do once these gangs stop killing each other. So they go back to business as usual."]]> 2017-11-12 19:05:23 UTC https://padlet.com/dholmes_23/gjaydmrrpxwn/wish/206019724 dholmes_23 https://padlet.com/dholmes_23/gjaydmrrpxwn/wish/207018717 https://youtu.be/dgHtX_-1AX0https://youtu.be/dgHtX_-1AX0]]> 2017-11-15 01:03:38 UTC https://padlet.com/dholmes_23/gjaydmrrpxwn/wish/207018717
