El Salvador achieved independence from Spain in 1821 and from the Central American Federation in 1839. A 12-year civil war, which cost about 75,000 lives, was brought to a close in 1992 when the government and leftist rebels signed a treaty that provided for military and political reforms.

Hi Michelle - you might want to see the profile of San Salvador, the capital of El Salvador, as well as Santa Ana. However, the main attractions of El Salvador is its wilderness, such as the Montecristo Cloud Forest and the Cerro Verde National Park, and sites of historical interest, such as the Mayan ruins of Tazumal.
