The Secret War in Honduras | Reporting the Cold War in Latin America (1982)

In 1982, Central America was at the height of Cold War tensions. The civil war in El Salvador was raging between U.S.-backed government forces and leftist guerrillas, while neighboring Nicaragua’s Sandinista government faced growing pressure from U.S.-funded Contra rebels. Honduras had become a key strategic ally of Washington, accused of hosting U.S. military advisers and Contra training camps along its borders. #CentralAmerica #ElSalvadorWar #ColdWar #Reagan #1982 #Honduras #Nicaragua #ForeignPolicy #USHistory #LatinAmerica #ColdWarHistory #ReaganEra #UKPolitics To license the footage featured in this clip, follow the link below: https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/search/...
