Extractions: [Add Section] Edit This Independence Honduras along with the other Central American provinces gained independence from Spain in 1821, it then briefly was annexed to the Mexican Empire. In 1823 Honduras joined the newly formed United Provinces of Central America. Before long social and economic differences between Honduras and its regional neighbors exacerbated harsh partisan strife among Central American leaders and brought on the federation's collapse in 1838. Gen. Francisco Morazan a Honduran national hero led unsuccessful efforts to maintain the federation and restoring Central American unity remained the chief aim of Honduran foreign policy until after World War I. Since independence Honduras has been plagued with nearly 300 internal rebellions civil wars and changes of government more than half occurring during this century. The country traditionally lacked both an economic infrastructure and social and political integration. Its agriculturally based economy came to be dominated in this century by U.S. companies that established vast banana plantations along the north coast. Foreign capital plantation life and conservative politics held sway in Honduras from the late 19th until the mid-20th century. During the relatively stable years of the Great Depression authoritarian Gen. Tiburcio Carias Andino controlled Honduras. His ties to dictators in neighboring countries and to U.S. banana companies helped him maintain power until 1948. By then provincial military leaders had begun to gain control of the two major parties the Nationalists and the Liberals.
