Hello all. My name is Andrew and I am an undergraduate at the University of Toronto. Currently I am taking a course called "History of the Americas: Interaction and Inequality." My main interests are the conquests of the Aztecs and the Incas, and have been reviewing this topic and other Latin American topics in history. I made this contribution because I believe that the Indigenous account of the conquest is often overlooked. Soon, I hope to include more primary Indigenous accounts of the Spanish conquest. I was also uncertain as to how you are all citing this page because i did not notice a bibliography. Vandrew ( talk) 04:13, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
I did some substantial revision to this article. The main addition were two paragraphs on why the U.S. of Central America failed. I also included references to the inter-oceanic canal (historically a subject of great importance), to the invasion by William Walker, and to the present-day Central American parliament. I left the flag discussion more or less as User:Hajor had it and added mention of the Union's symbols in the appropriate section. Finally, linked here from the Central America article. (BTW, it's true that Costa Ricans like me are prejudiced against the Union. We were so remote and inaccessible that we were never effectively a part of it, and today we regard the regional parliament, to which we don't belong, as a waste of money and a sinecure for retired politicians). -- Eb.hoop 14:50, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I'm not surprised at User:Eb.hoop's statement "Costa Rica's flag is not modeled after that of the U.S. of Central America", as I'd always heard that it was. -- Infrogmation 01:23, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I redirected "United States of Central America" and similar names here to "History of Central America" back when Wikipedia was much smaller and with less info on the topic. What do people think about splitting that off into a seperate article? If so, what is the best title? -- Infrogmation 01:23, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)
This is a good start but I hardly consider this to be a B-class history article. Even including its bibliography it would only come to four printed pages. I realize that individual country histories can be consulted for more information, but this article needs additional work, in my opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.85.131.116 ( talk) 01:04, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
These countries developed thanks to agriculture and the revenue helped to modernize at least some of them, especially the Economy of Costa Rica. Much of it was initially owned by American companies, of course.
This is such a huge factor in their history that I am amazed it has not been covered at all. I added a paragraph but there should be a full section about Agriculture. Peter K Burian ( talk) 01:17, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello everyone! My name is Matthew and I am a junior History and Political Science double major at the College of Wooster who is currently taking a class entitled 'Modern Latin America'. I have come across this article in the process of researching the period of Mexican occupation in Central America from 1822-1823. Despite this being a fairly short period, I found the details on this period to be somewhat lacking, and so I hope to expand on them. Further, there are not really any sources that directly address the annexation in this part of the article, but I believe I could do this article a service by locating some scholarly sources on the topic and adding them in to strengthen the claims made. To clarify, this would include edits to the first and second paragraphs under the "Independence" section of the article but before the "Federal Republic of Central America" section. I look forward to making a useful contribution to this article!-- 00matthew2000 ( talk) 15:37, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
