Honduras 3/14/2013

The term “Banana Republic” was first applied to Honduras by the American writer O. Henry, for the influence the U.S. banana companies had at some time.

Honduras is located in the waist that links North America with South America, and it was the result of the clash of these two landmasses. If not for the existence of the Central America, in which Honduras is in the middle, sea currents would have taken other directions, the weather had been different in Africa, and humans would not have evolved as they did.

With the amount of coral reefs that are in the Bay Islands, Honduras is the second country in the world with more coral reef after Australia.

Honduras had no civil war. Only a funny war happened was a “Soccer War” which is known the armed conflict that occurred as a result of a military aggression of El Salvador against Honduras after a World Cup soccer match between the two countries in 1969 lasting 60 days.
