Forty-six years ago today, on October 28, 1979 (September 8, 1979), the civil war broke out in El Salvador. On October 28, 1979, the civil war broke out in El Salvador. Known as the "Land of Volcanoes", El Salvador is located in Central America and covers an area of more than 20,000 square kilometers. The smallest and most densely populated poor country has become one of the world's attention-grabbing "hot spots" due to its long history of war. For nearly 50 years, El Salvador has been ruled by a dictatorship of pro-American soldiers, and the political power and economic lifeline of the country have been in the hands of the country's "14 families" and foreign monopoly capitalists, mainly the United States. Over the past 10 years, these "14 families" have become "90 families," accounting for less than 5% of the population, but owning 90% of the country's land and most of the country's wealth, while the vast majority of the people live in extreme poverty. Extreme economic inequality breeds growing social unrest, and the dictatorship of the military government has also aroused strong dissatisfaction and resistance among the people. In 1977, after former Defense Minister Ca Wen Romero came to power through corruptive practices, 7,000 people were killed in just over a year. In October 1979, under the influence of the victory of the Nicaraguan revolution, the armed struggle of the people of El Salvador further escalated, targeting Romero's military dictatorship. The United States was forced to change its horses, supported the military coup of the constitutional faction, established a moderate government, a "ruling committee", and carried out some social reforms in an attempt to ease domestic contradictions and stabilize the political situation. However, the internal contradictions of the ruling committee are rife with danger, and the domestic economy is deteriorating day by day, which has caused disappointment and extreme dissatisfaction among the people. The scale of the anti-government armed forces has expanded and their activities have intensified.
