Abstract

This article discusses the role played by the State of Honduras in the Central American Confederation (1842-1844), with the objective of studying the evolution of the confederate political project and determining the causes of its implementation and decline. The sources used were the newspapers of the time: El Redactor Oficial de Honduras, Gaceta del Gobierno de Guatemala, Gaceta Oficial de Guatemala, El Centro-Americano and El Tiempo. With the data extracted from these sources, the emergence of the idea of a confederation in Central America and the role played by the State of Honduras as well as its government is broadly outlined. It was concluded that the idea of a Central American confederation originated in the years immediately after independence in 1821 and that it resurfaced after the collapse of the federal pact as an alternative for the States of the isthmus to confront the expansionism of England and resolve conflicts among themselves.
