The Northern Triangle: A United States Foreign Policy Issue
Abstract
Located in the central part of the American continent,
also known as Mesoamerica, the Northern Triangle countries
(NTC) consists of the countries of El Salvador, Honduras
and Guatemala. All three were once part of the Federal
Republic of Central America (consisting of Guatemala, Honduras,
El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica) which existed
from 1823 to 1841. Due to political differences, this country
ceased to exist but their legacy and sense of brotherhood
does continue to exist. These historical details are important
as one can see there is a shared sense of unity these three
nations have; they all celebrate their independence from
Spain in the month of September. Although great pride characterizes
them, there are a set of challenges they face.
