Mayan tribes were primary inhabitants of the territory of modern El Salvador before the colonization. Historic landmarks of this epoch date back to the 1st 4th centuries. We don&#8217t know much about the early history of this region. First official mentions of this territory date back to 1524 when Spanish conquistador Pedro de Alvarado conquered this territory. It took 15 years for Spanish invaders to completely put down a rebellion of indigenous tribes. However, the capital of the future colony, San Salvador, was founded already in 1525. During the colonial period, agriculture was the main source of income for the country until the mid19th century. Large plantations of the country were used to grow coca and indigo. First attempts of local people to gain independence from Spain took place yet in 1811. In the following 150 years, the country had to overcome many revolutions and wars. Despite the fact that El Salvador officially became an independent country in 1821, it took more than a century to achieve political and social stability.
