Failed negotiations led to El Salvador questioning Honduras, escalating tensions. Despite attempts at peace, conflict preparations ensued, with General Cabañas leading Salvadoran forces. The situation intensified with the Chinameca agreement's rejection by the Honduran government.

President Guzmán declared a state of emergency. Battles ensued in, leading the Honduran occupation of Eastern part of El Salvador, the salvadoran victory in El Obrajuelo led to the Sempul Armistice, broken by the Honduran general Jose Santos Guardiola launching an offensive, capturing La Unión, and San Miguel.
