On this day in 1821, El Salvador signed the Act of Independence of Central America and became a sovereign nation. In 1609, El Salvador joined the Reino de Guatemala , which was created as an administrative territory of New Spain. After more than 200 years under Spanish rule, a variety of factors encouraged Salvadorans to push for independence. The 1811 Independence Movement, although quickly suppressed, was the initial resounding cry for freedom from its people. Ten years later, El Salvador signed the Act of Independence of Central America and formed the Federal Republic of Central America. On Independence Day, Salvadorans attend large parades with flag-bearing floats, concerts with lively music and traditional dance routines, and street markets to indulge in cultural bites and beverages. Such delicacies include the national dish pupusas , sopa de pata , and horchata de morro . Happy Independence Day, El Salvador! Location: Tags:
