1921 Constituyente Centroamericana

In the inter- central U.S. foreign policy concern for the U.S. military intervention in Nicaragua 1909-1925 was exploited to neutralize the power of the Nicaraguan government. 1921, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the independence of Central America from Spain, the Honduran President Rafael López Gutiérrez invited to a conference at which a Pacto de Unión de Centro América was signed. After Nicaragua withdrew from the pact and he was not signed in the Parliament of Costa Rica, this was Unión de Centro América from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. A temporary Federal Council set up a Constituent Assembly, which in 1921 adopted a constitution for the República Federal de Centro América. President of this body was Policarpo Bonilla.
