My great grandmother was an immigrant that went to Honduras to find work and after the war erupted she was among the huge wave of Salvadorans returning to El Salvador. She survived this war and the Salvadoran Civil War and has passed away yesterday September 7th 2020 due to the Coronavirus here in Texas. Her memory will always live on. Adios Abuelita 💕
@@TheDigitalApple she left for the us when she was already an elderly woman I believe it was 2013 when she got here and I was there when she left when we visited, my guess is because things weren’t all that perfect at that time because of the president who took the money and left the country. She would live her new life here in Texas where she had a puppy who she loved a lot though to this day that puppy hates me, her ashes were taken to El Salvador last month
A highly requested video! Did you know the Football or Soccer war would be the last time in history that propeller fighter planes would fight in the skies. What weird wars do you want to see next?
Actually Nicaragua supported Honduras, they sent jet fighters, ammunition, guns, planes and other resources to Honduras because Somoza was bestfriends with Lopez Arellano. So no, Nicaragua didn't just watch they were openly supporting Honduras and they basically double-teamed El Salvador, which I think is funny cause I hate El Salvadorians lol.
@@isaacg5438 Lmao my parents are from Mexico not Central America. And nobody likes you, Mexicans don't like you, your own Central American bros don't like you, El Salvador's always been the hated one of Central America.
The Emu War, also known as the Great Emu War, was a nuisance wildlife management military operation undertaken in Australia over the latter part of 1932 to address public concern over the number of emus said to be running amok in the Campion district of Western Australia. The unsuccessful attempts to curb the population of emus, a large flightless bird indigenous to Australia, employed soldiers armed with Lewis guns-leading the media to adopt the name "Emu War" when referring to the incident. While a number of the birds were killed, the emu population persisted and continued to cause crop destruction.
My grandpa is El Salvador, and my dad is Hondurian, my dad was about 6-7 years old when this war broke out, he remembers it vividly. That was the day my grandpa fought for his life with a machete, he fled to El Salvador bleeding, he barely made it alive. It would be another 8-10 years before my dad saw his dad again. What people don't realize, is that before the war people of El Salvador and Honduras lived side by side in Honduras, worked together, played with each other, married each other. This was a gruesome war that turned families/ neighbor's on each other. Thank you for this video, your highlights were right on point.
@@youwantmyname9208 It was crazy. My Grandpa's best friend and neighbor was hondurian, that morning he came running outaide to find 5 or 6 hondurians had hung my grandpa to a tree by his arms, they were stabbing him with sticks and machetes. My Grandpa's best friend grabbed a machete and fended them off, they said and I quote, "your a traitor, if you want to defend this salvadoran, we will kill you too" he said, "that's fine, kill me, but I'll be sure to take 3 of you with me". They backed off. They told him "You saved him today, but tomorrow we will not be 6 men, tomorrow we will be 20-30 men, if we find you protecting him tomorrow, we will kill you and your entire household" My dad saw all of this. That night my grandpa's best friend took him to the border, and dropped him off.
So.... El Salvador was about to beat Honduras. Who was losing rather pathetically. And then they called for the American states to save them? Sounds like pressing the power button on the Xbox when youre brother is about to beat you lol
Actually Honduras defended themselves very well and stoped the raid dead them it procede to atack el salvador oil reserves they actually managed to beat the p25 mustangs with their corsairs given a week more honduras would have beat el salvador and taken over their land
@@mandragonist the Honduran Army stopped them in copan 300 miles from tegucigalpa only way they managed to hit tegucigalpa was by bombarding it by surprise ataco
I'm from El Salvador 🇸🇻 and I think you did a great job explaining this conflict as it. Actually a lot of people think this war began only because the football game and they don't know the rest of the history. Congrats!
As a site note, this war was also later on known as the war of the hundred hours, given its duration (roughly 100 hours). Thanks for doing a video on my country's (El Salvador) history, I honestly never expected it. I love your videos!
I remember vividly when Metallica had to cancel their show due to a freak accident, then GNR decided to show up late and end theirs early. It was 1992, I think?

Fun fact: the town where my grandfather lived was bombed by the El Salvadorians during this war. Pretty interesting to learn that your relatives were in warzones at some point.
I remember I watched this at Oversimplified a couple of months ago and I never had heard of the football war before. I like both videos and yours has more art and it’s well explained. Thanks for keep uploading awesome content.
Thank you for the info. I thought the dispute was just over land , but apparently over flow of Salvadorian nationals into Hounduras causing friction with local farmers adds to it. My Father fought in the *100 hour war/Football War… Leaving the military he transition into Hounduras Secret Service protecting the president. He has a few pictures of his platoon & a couple protecting the President. He moved to the states in the early 70’s, retired now at 86yrd old🙌🏾😎✌🏾
Thanks for making this video I find it very interesting and I like that you and the other youtube channel has talk about this as I think the other had missed a few points too. Its also a more interesting way of learning about history from this both countries.
The US basically gave away tons of ww2 equipment to any country that asked. F4Us we’re a pretty popular fighter and some were used up into the 70s I believe.
Well Americans can’t just go and make up their own sport call it football when they don’t use their feet when there’s already a sport called football that people actually like

Welcome to the channek "Simple History"
Hey Simple history, Could you do about battle of Berlin, or if it is already made could you do a video about the Yugoslavian resistance
Sweet video
The real football war took place on July 8 2014 where Germany invented a new form of the Blitzkrieg against Brazil.
The thought that my grandfather participated in this war for some reason makes me laugh honestly Thank you for covering this war as no one even talk about this or the civil war
2:52 it looks really funny the way you make them hold a pistol without a thumb lolz your animation style rocks. Seriously good history tho, and I like how you keep yourself so neutral and your portrayals of human activity so consistent across cultures. The Americans and Germans shooting at each other look the same, except for uniforms, gear, and weapons. People are just people - everywhere.
Que buen vídeo, me gusta este canal
woah what timing!
I’ve never heard of this war. Thank you, Simple History.
Nice video
As a salvadorian its really satisfying seeing people getting tou know our history a lil but
Do video about The sinking of The Britannic (1916 WWI)
They might aswell just do a video about the Olympic class ships alltogether (RMS Olympic, RMS Titanic, HMHS Britannic)
That would be cool
They should have just built a wall....
Yeah the Soviets had the right idea, although it kept people in and not out.
👍🏻
And el salvador is going to pay for it mark my words

Who will pay for it though
