Federal Republic of Central America[edit]

The breaking up of the Federal Republic of Central America when did each country declare independence? -- Esemono (talk) 01:16, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cuba[edit]

Cuba had elections on 1908 but was granted autonomy in 1909. -- Esemono (talk) 01:16, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

1907[edit]

Removed Central American Court of Justice from 1907 to 1918 and from 1962 to date as not a country change -- Esemono (talk) 11:28, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

1836[edit]

from es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bocas_del_Toro. Colombia conquers Bocas del Toro, which was part of Costa Rica as defined in 1573 by the king Felipe II. In 1941 this issues were resolved between Costa Rica and (now) Panama.

Other Central American Unions, Haiti, the Bay Islands and US occupation of Dominican Republic[edit]

This is an excellent set of maps so far, but a couple of dates/events seem to be missing:

The second attempt at Central American union in October 1852 when El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua created a Federation of Central America (Federación de Centro América). The union lasted less than a month.

The third attempt at Central American union when Honduras, Nicaragua, and El Salvador formed the Greater Republic of Central America or "República Mayor de Centroamérica" from 1896 to 1898.

The control of the Bay Islands throughout the time period, passing from Spain to Britain and then to Honduras around the same time that the Miskito coast was transferred to Honduras and Nicaragua.

The various times when Haiti was split into two or three states:
- 1806-1820 - A north Haiti (State of Haiti and later Kingdom of Haiti) and a south Haiti (the Republic of Haiti or Haiti as we know it today)
- 1810-1812 - the two Haitian states plus a secessionist Department of the South centred around Les Cayes.
- 1868-1869 and 1888-1889 - when a northern Haitian state was re-established.

The US occupation of the Dominican Republic from 1916 to 1924 (the series already shows the US occupation of Haiti from 1915-1934 and the US occupations of Cuba from 1899-1902 and 1906-1909, so it should probably include the occupation of the Dominican Republic).

Also, during WWII, wasn't Curacao occupied by the UK and then US along with Aruba?72.27.10.247 (talk) 18:35, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
