What year did the football war take place?

14 On the morning of July, El Salvador began to take military action against Honduras, and the football war broke out. After the war began, the Organization of American States held an emergency rally, calling for an immediate ceasefire, and Venezuelan troops withdrew from Honduras. 18 In July, the Salvadoran government agreed to sign a ceasefire agreement, which came into full force on the 20th. In early August, El Salvador began to withdraw its troops from Honduras. This football war, which has nothing to do with football in essence, only lasted for more than four days, but it took ten years to reach a final peace agreement. The war was criticized by the Salvadoran people and junior officers, but it aroused the national consciousness and self-esteem of Hondurans. Thousands of Honduran workers and peasants demanded to join the army to defend their country, and local defense organizations mushroomed. Countless ordinary people even picked up machetes and went to the battlefield. Just like other military conflicts in El Salvador's history. 1969 Sahong war (called football war) is rooted in the inconsistency of economic development between the two countries. El Salvador has a small territory, a large population and a severely limited arable land, but its economy is relatively developed, while Honduras has a small territory, a small population and a relatively backward economy. By 1969, about 300,000 Salvadorans had crossed the border and taken root in sparsely populated Honduras. Most of these people are illegal immigrants. They occupy cultivated land just because they live here. For Honduras, land is not a problem, but its increasingly besieged image and national sentiment. Throughout the 1960s, the operating mechanism of the Central American Common Market became more and more beneficial to the economically developed countries in the region, especially Guatemala and El Salvador. El Salvador has many enterprises in Honduras-shoe stores can be seen everywhere-which shows the economic gap between the two countries. As a result, Salvadoran immigrants-although they have no practical economic significance-have become the pain point to stimulate Honduran nationalism.
