Honduran Welfare
Migrants have joined the Caravans to the US. Honduras has not suffered a
Communist Civil War, but is located on the Drug Cartel Highway and suffers from
high crime rates and has suffered from Cartel-friendly politicians.
Going into the Central American Crisis, Honduras's
economy was framed by stagnating agricultural
production, de-industrialization, deteriorating terms of trade, the continuing problems of
the Central American common market, the decline of international financial
reserves, salary decline, and increasing unemployment and
underemployment. Honduras, like El Salvador, was increasingly dependent on economic
assistance from the United States. In Honduras, efforts to establish
guerrilla movements foundered on the generally conservative attitude of the
population.
During the Cold War
from 1945 to 1990, Communist Rebels took over dozens of countries. The targets
were national governments. Honduran citizens did not support a Communist
take-over. US troops held large military exercises in
Honduras during the 1980s, and trained thousands of Salvadorans in the country.
The nation also hosted bases for the Nicaraguan Contras.
Honduras
