Nacimiento y ocaso de la Federación de Centro américa: Entre la realidad y el deseo

Abstract

Central America was born as a full political concept on November 1824 by the name of "Federación de Centro América", achieving the independent from the Spanish empire after almost three centuries under colonial rules. However, ¿was this process similar to the one carried out by the rest of Latin American countries? The aim of this paper is to give light about the previous and subsequent context that could favour its sudden failed as a regional project of integration.
