Honduras

Honduras is a country located in Central America, bordered by Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua. It was once home to several indigenous peoples before being colonized by the Spanish in the 16th century. Honduras gained independence from Spain in 1821 and briefly joined the Mexican Empire before becoming a part of the United Provinces of Central America. The country experienced political unrest and military coups throughout the 20th century, including interventions by the United States. In recent years, Honduras has faced challenges such as widespread poverty, corruption, and violence, leading to high levels of emigration. The country is known for its natural beauty, including tropical forests, Mayan ruins, and Caribbean beaches.
