Want to help me out? You can!

I like how this guy didnt just make the video about el salvador's crimes, and also said that the crime is decreasing. This usually doesnt happen and people like to spread light to the bad facts instead of the good, thank you for making this video mr history.
Back now when crime is close to 0 now lol
My family left El Salvador due to the civil war in early 80s and we now live in Canada. The people have suffered so much and glad to hear that things are improving. I have so many fond memories of my early childhood there. Peace and 💓🙏 to ES people. Love visiting this country.
Do you think I've done a good job covering your country's history in my vid th-cam.com/video/t4F_H30Ke9M/w-d-xo.html
And part 2?
@@JustinianG Absolutely! You have provided a mini crash course on the history of El Salvador. There are so many other details in between but I honestly find those videos drag on forever and personally bore me tears. Thank you again!
Same one part of my family left to Canada and couple to the us
Damn, my family left the war and ended up in Virginia. Canada would have been cool to be born in. 98’ born
Y’all went so far! Lol we made it to texas
You forgot the fact that the pipil kicked the spanish twice out of Cuscatlán
It’s a side detail since they feel to Spanish in the end
@@SalviLok213 I don't feel spanish in any way, I actually don't like them. They're so effing full of themselves :s they're also so racists. It's like Franco is still with them.
@mic mac not really he’s native and the ones in control were white and way blame the sins of the father on the son
In El Salvador the word “indio” is an insult, which is strange because majority of el Salvadoran have indigenous blood, but it’s that Spanish superiority that brain wash people to subconsciously speak superiority and racism ... but now days things are changing, they are still in the process of self discovery and land their own identity, not loving and fantasizing the Spanish (Europeans), and not hating their own native roots, and accepting others.... now it’s more of production, what can you bring to the table regardless of class or ancestry, the way things should be in a country, take Singapore for example many different type of people there...
@@docdog8154 You hit the nail on the head there! I have taught my parents things they didn't know about ourselves. Including the point about the word indio you mentioned above.
this is a very white centric alternative. Should’ve probably mentioned how much US intervention caused many of these issues, the slave trade, or idk, the fact that La Matanza was largely indigenous folks
Damn right these corporations enslaved the indigeneous people along with African slave descendants with salaries of cents , you can't even do shit with pennies. And you can't attend school if you gotta feed your family. Corrupt govt that are basically still the colonizers, if they are really claiming nationalism they should be fair to every person and not just keep all resources to them selves .🤦♂️
Not america, but companies. Cut the cap
@@TearDaTaco you must be a U.S previllige white folks . The most richest country in the world yet don't know geography. Any who look up "the act of 1871" so innately "America" is the companies/Corp. We are nothing but cattle to them even you . The birth cert are stocks traded every day
@@huitzilfromsouftex8774 apparently if I have anything to say different from yours that makes me white? What is this wierdass logic.. also here's what I got on the act of 1871
"Enforcement Act, Civil Rights Act of 1871, Force Act of 1871, or Third Ku Klux Klan Act, is an Act of the United States Congress which empowered the President to suspend the writ of habeas corpus to combat the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) and other white supremacy organizations."
What's so bad about suspending white supremacy organization?
Nothing of what you said really proves that the government was the one to interfere in the politics of central american countries, it is food companies.
Yeah the USA couldn’t stay out of shit
I barely knew anything about my own homeland until this. It was super useful and interesting, I never knew any of the stuff my grandparents went through. It’s weird to think about.
😂
Me too brother.
Weird is Real
You should take some time to read up about it.
This one needs an update BADLY. I love your videos man!! El Salvador has gone through a 180° change since 2019. Please make a new one?? 🎉❤
“And let’s hope it dwindles to zero.”
In the coming years, it did. Now it is one of the safest countries in the world. Bless you brother.
Nice video, a salvadorean admires the accuracy!
Two small "caviats"
The football war is referred mostly as "La guerra de las cien horas" (The hundred hours war) locally. Because "football war" was a term adopted by foreign news outlets since coincidentally we had football matches against Honduras for the World Cup. (And come on, the hundred hours war sounds cooler ;D) it was named like that because of the small duration of it.
And second: Even if El Salvador did have the highest murder rate in the world in the last UN report from 2017, the new president of the republic (elected in 2019) has been doing a lot of changes. We celebrated our first "murder free day" in the last two years in 2019 and since then, we've had more than 25 days without homicides from june 2019 to august 2020.
I'm really looking forward to look into further reports by the United Nations, since in 2017 we had an average of 10.8 homicides PER DAY, and in 2020 this number has been reduced to 3.4! (Until August)
In any case, a very nice video. Really enjoyable! Often El Salvador goes unnoticed from everything. I really like when we get a bit of attention. :)
Thank you for your response!
what about the slavery?
Lmao right , why is it always the white foreigners giving different names to our stuff ,
@@LightskinEscobar actually it wasn't really slavery, the farmers heave a salary ( was called ''fichas de finca'' that only work's in the landlord farm's ) but, in the paper, they was free... only in the paper
Wow, thank you so much for sharing!! I've been trying to learn more about my Salvadoran heritage and feel the same way-El Salvador really does go unnoticed from everything! I didn't realize how difficult it would be to find informational/historical resources. Being able to read comments like yours help me learn just a little bit more :)
Look like an amazing country that I would like to visit one day, in a couple of months I will be visiting Mexico, Guatemala and Colombia.
Yea we are no longer the top 10 dangerous country’s ms13 is no more
@@nerfcontent9429 That's very good and I am happy the hear that, thank you and can't wait to visit.
My parents fled the country because of the civil war. They saw so much death it’s crazy how much evil humans are capable of.
You came in clutch today thank for your service sir.
Hey, they made a video about me!
Are you a landmass that can speak?
Smash Bros64 yes... yes it is 💪🏽
Guanaco
About you being corrupt
Respect from Hungría to El Salvador!
Great video, KEEP IT UP!!!
ill keep my eye on this channel, covered my familys homeland and in a p good way. hope your channel grows chief expect to see me here with ya
great video, you deserve more subs
Very informative video! Thank you
Very cool video, love the art style and depth!
Thanks for the video very interesting , nice facts
Really good summary of El Salvador's history. Greetings from the place were civilization started in El Salvador! :D
I’m Salvadoran and I think this a great video
I agree
I'm only half so please educate me... are we more pupil or Mayan in terms of background? I hear Colombian and Mexicans have that in their ancestors as well... I'm confused
@@solidsnake8331 we at one point was Maya, but they disappear and then the pipil people conquer the land
@@gusztavo6770 Do they have their own separate language?
@@solidsnake8331 yep, it came from the mexican nahuatl but also have it's differences, nawat was called
great video
Great video
3:34 It did came down like A LOT, thank God
🇸🇻🇸🇻
You really need more subs
SO true
My father was an “advisor” in the salvadorean civil war from 1983-1986
What was his name?
According to my mom the war was a horrible massacre from the government I’m glad we are a better contry
Btw ms13 can suck a eggplant
@@nerfcontent9429 a massacre is a fucking understatement,death squads to kill civilians,soldiers raping women,soldiers killing children,Guerrilla warfare,it was a southern american Vietnam,and it was just as brutal,and america just fucking watched because the rebels who fought for their country were deemed "communist"
@@mediumtim2237 Danm right it was a understatement and America is going to get into peoples business why didn’t they do anything to help or something democracy and freedom my ass there were dead in the yards of homes children sent to die
@@nerfcontent9429 the reason they didn't fucking help,was because they feared,that the rebels would turn communist,which they were...kinda,they were being helped by the USSR until 1991 and Cuba for the rest of the war,so it would be safe to say that if the rebels won,the country would turn communist,thus another ally that could cause chaos on the mainland,I can't blame them for that,but I can blame them for sending supplies to the government killing thousands of innocents,my mom told story's of soldiers of both the rebellion and the government walking down the street,looting dead bodys for gear,weaponry, and ammo,luckily she never was in the combat zone,bless her heart,hell I think my grandfather (rest his soul in peace) might of fought in the bloody war, children were used as messengers,so a decently healthy man would of been prime target for enlisting to fight a tyrannical government,the war lasted 12 long and brutal years man,and after it,salvador had massive crimes,at one point considered the murder capital of the world...but it was mostly gang on gang violence so yeah,I'm glad the new president is making reforms and helping the people,and I'm glad he can admit that the country as a whole has failed in many ways,hope it can recovery 100%
This is White washed. They leave out important facts of history and skim through history picking and choosing facts. But great editing skills!!
Homie this ain’t the full history it’s a 3 min video that just gives a summary of basic Salvadorian history
It’s literally a 3 minute quick summery and run down
While you’re not wrong, keep in mind the title of the video
Thank you so much got teaching me on my own study’s
Good video
Skipped the part about oligarch-U.S. exploitation, death squads to enforce the status quo, outlaw of indigenous customs, disappearances, massacres between La matanza and the civil war, and U.S. intervention helping create MS13.
I’m from el savaldor
You think you can do the San Miguel Department, the panhandle that spills into the Usulutan Department, it triggers me
My step dad fought in the Salvadoran civil war in the army as a Cabo aka corporal he would of went into special forces bht left cause it became to risky and almost lost his life 5 times 2 from Grenades 1 from a rocket rest is when he was pinned down he was in the Calvary which is now infantry he joined as soon as he turned 18 he’s been with people in the military since he was 6 helping them out he lost a friend of his which was a father figure to him who was killed in an ambushed he said he almost went with him but the captain said no aka his friend he’s told me multiple war stories and legends of his pueblo and my moms my mom was alive as well and was a teacher in San Miguel
My dad too! (This account)
Interesting. I learned something new
Nice video, very informative.
I have a grandfather who was I. The army in the civil war and who lead my family out the country and to California and if it were not for him I would not be here today I’ve heard stories from my grandmother about how she had to hide with her baby (my mother) from gunfire and how dogs would come from the alleys after gunfights to eat the dead bodies and soldiers who would cut off ears and make necklaces out them as a kill count
Keep it out dude !!!!
Need more vids like this of more central american countries
I like this.
As far as we currently know, “main stream proven history” so much is lacking in our ancestors past.
Porfavor busca los conocimiento de todo.
I like your videos, I don't like the aggressive passive Eurocentric tone of them
Anyway, I hope to see more videos.
Greetings from Venezuela
How are they Eurocentric?
@@ottoiofgreece7585 the narrator is very condescending in the typical Anglo way
I visted El Salvador a few months ago! I made a video about it on my channel. Its such a amazing place!
Really interesting video. I like it. I am from El Salvador. Koskatan. La tierra de la Joyas. Something I always found interesting is that gang members in El Salvador covered their faces in tattoos. Ancient Maya and Nahua Warriors in Central America use to cover their faces in tattoos as well.
My family is from El Salvador I hope to one day get a chance to visit
Fantastic videos
You skipped the entire Vireinal period
🇸🇻💙
Fact check: not all ancestors of the central American indigenous came from the strait of Bering, new data reveal’s interactions with rapa nui people traveling from the pacific.
veaa este vato es vergon
ricueso de El Salvador 🇸🇻♥️
Oscar Romero is my great tio on my moms side
quite good. thank you
My grandpa was killed during El Salvadores Civil War in front of my mom that was 11 at that time
Nice dude
i actually live in el salvador
Fucking beautiful!! Great vid. I’m subscribing.
(P.S):When i thought i was watching a history channel, it triggers me that you thought northern Santa Ana was it's own Department, not province, 2:17
Nice video.
What a brutal history.
Are you sure the original inhabitants really migrated from the land bridge? The Olmecs came from West Africa. And I dont know if it's true the Mayans came from the land bridge.
Do you not know our history? Olmecs werent Africans they were from Asia where’s your proof that the olmecs are African?
@@fantastixfilms5372 I'm no expert and I'm interested in learning the truth. Sorry if my comment offended you.. but the olmecs statues were those of the exact same faces as those inhabitants of west Africa. Why did their statues have the exact facial characteristics of west Africans? Once again my apologies if I offended you. I would love to learn more about it.
@@joebobmarley2854 I love how a statue is all the proof you need to convince yourself that the olmecs were African. Why isn't West African DNA present in native Central Americans peoples? What civilization in Africa did these people come from? What ship did they use that was capable of crossing the ocean? Why aren't they found in other places if they were that proficient in seafaring? Why was this technology lost and not present in West Africa post Olmec period? Imagine being so small minded that seeing big lips on a statue is enough to convince you of something virtually no historians agree on. You're really using your noggin aren't you lmao.
THERE IS LOTS OF GOLD IN EL SALVADOR!!A The Spanish never found out, but it is a well known fact today. Stop the misinformation.
it used to have the highest homicide rate in the world thanks to bukele and the man upstairs if you know what i mean 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻
Sangre moreenaaa
We need Bukele 100 years more. He has done so much in so little.
Yes Bukele is El Salvador's hero!!!
The best country:D
going there tomorrow to travel
Todo comienza cuando no hay nada que hacer
Cuando todo lo que quieres es tener un público que entretener
As somebody who has been born at el savador i can confirm this is true
God bless yall remember Jesus loves you❤
God bless you too
God bless
Good stuff but needs to be updated. They now have one of the lowest homicide rates in the Americas. Fun fact, they did not do this by defunding the police.
Not too much nitpicking
El Salvador: I have SOOO many coups
Thailand: hold my noodles
How is African diaspora left out of this?
I got my 25% Pipil 🇸🇻
This guy completely dodged the fact 90+% of the native population died from diseases, ofcourse making it multitudes easier fot the Spanish to conquer them
My aunt and uncle died during the football war
We are a wild people 😂
I'm proud to be a Guanaco
Wsg
You forgot some things such as Mayan people won’t speak their native language due to the fact the colonizers punished them for it, and a lot more such as a war. The houses arnt the best but yeah. (I am from El Salvador )
Yuh
Salvadorans are my favorite Mexicans.
I’m half Salvadoran and this comment is awesome every Central American nation has indigenous roots from mexica (modern day Mexico)
Nice
"and practiced human sacrificed"....we literally abolished it around 900 AD XD
I need to make report about the culture and local language of el salvador someone please help hehe
😎😎
FUNES > Trukele
👍🏻
A people called pipil=))
Super white centric and colonized view of el salvador, the pipil and maya did practice human sacrifices and the war was bought out and affected drastically by the US.
👍👌
you didnt see the spanish punishing vikings.. because they woulda got that ass whooped lol
I am disappointed in my country...and yes I'm Salvadorian
Oh my father was an “advisor” from the USA in your country hope your day/night is good
@@corvianthedarktemplar3035 Yeah my country has the highest homicide rates. Honduras is about to catch up but yeah, ill be alright man I just...a lot of things happen here and im worried there will be another Civil War
@@CatholicNiko what country are you from?
