Abstract
This article offers an historiographical analysis on the impact of the Cold
War in Central America. To that end, this work begins by outlining a characterization
of the Cold War in Latin America in way that is both less episodic
and focused on a genuinely Latin American perspective. Our analysis will
describe how the Cold War generated two fractures, one external and one
domestic, which altered the region’s processes of historical transformation.
After having defined this framework, it will go on to analyze the connections
between the Central American region and the broader Cold War processes
affecting Latin America during that period.
