Abstract

When the United States invaded Nicaragua in 1912 the popular reaction in El Salvador was so strong that it completely upended politics. The article argues that this anti-imperialist movement, completely ignored by the current historiography, forced Salvadorean governments to make decisions regarding foreign policy that would have been unthinkable had it not been for the pressure from below. Popular pressures contributed to limit the scope of the final version of the Chamorro–Bryan Treaty between the United States and Nicaragua. The treaty did not include Platt Amendment-like provisions. Moreover, the Wilson administration abandoned the idea of extending a protectorate to all the Central American countries and building a naval base in the Gulf of Fonseca.

Cuando los Estados Unidos invadió a Nicaragua en 1912 la reacción popular en El Salvador fue tan fuerte que trastocó completamente a la política local. El artículo señala que este movimiento anti-imperialista, ignorado completamente por la historiografía actual, forzó a los gobiernos salvadoreños a tomar decisiones en relación a su política exterior que hubieran sido impensables de no ser por la presión desde abajo. Las presiones populares contribuyeron para limitar los alcances de la versión final del Tratado Chamorro–Bryan entre los Estados Unidos y Nicaragua. Dicho tratado al final no incluyó provisiones tipo la Enmienda Platt. Aún más, la administración Wilson abandonó la idea de extender el protectorado para todos los países centroamericanos así como la construcción de una base naval en el Golfo de Fonseca.

Quando os Estados Unidos invadiram a Nicarágua em 1912, a reação popular em El Salvador foi tão forte que completamente desestabilizou a política salvadorenha. O artigo argumenta que este movimento anti-imperialista, completamente ignorado pela historiografia atual, forçou governos salvadorenhos a tomar decisões relativas à política externa que teriam sido inimagináveis, não fosse pela pressão popular. Tal pressão também contribuiu em limitar o alcance da versão final do Tratado Chamorro–Bryan entre os Estados Unidos e a Nicarágua, que não incluiu provisões ao estilo da Emenda Platt. Além disso, a administração de Wilson abandonou a ideia de estender o protetorado à todos os países da América Central e também de construir uma base naval no Golfo de Fonseca.

The murderer confessed that he had been hired by Guatemalan authorities, but the new Salvadorean government, probably to avoid a war, blamed, without evidence, Prudencio Alfaro, a rival for the fledgeling government. Araujo's successor decreed a state of siege that allowed him to arrest or exile the main opposition politicians.
