When was Central America?

Answer 1

Central America was initially Mesoamerica during Pre-Columbian times. However, during the time when Christopher Columbus discovered America in 1520, the Spanish invaded and took over Mesoamerican territories such as the Mayans and the Aztecs. In 1540, Spain established the Captaincy General of Guatemala, which extended from southern Mexico to Costa Rica, roughly the present Central America. This lasted for about 300 years. Central America went through a process of political, economic and cultural transformation that started in 1907, after the creation of the Central American Court of Justice. In 1951, the San Salvador Treaty that created the ODECA, the Organization of Central American States, was signed. Wron again, I don't care if you kick me out, but I can not go by your lies, Meso America was never called like that before Precolumbian times, simply because Columbian is a name taken from Christopher Columbus's, and before his time in this continent it could not be called that or Meso America, the word America comes from an Italian geographer, who knew that this land was a new continent, what it was called before Columbus maybe Mayab, or Cem Anahuac, which means the land between to seas, After Cortes claimed these lands for the King of Spain, Central America as well as what we now know as Mexico, and half of the USA, was part of New Spain, which was divided in sevral regions, and when New Spain won its independence from Spain, Central America was in the joy ride of Independence as well, but a few years later it decided to separate itself from Mexico, first as one Central American Federation, but thanks to the good eforts of the USA, it was divided in sevarl nations.
