Talk:Francisco Morazán

Untitled
Thanks for your additions, "Eb.hoop". I've never been quite clear about Morazán's final time in Costa Rica, and a web search just turns up more apparently contradictary stories. On one hand I've read that he was "called" to Costa Rica and "elected" president. While I wouldn't be surprised if this was something less than an actual national election, I also supect that Morazán must have had some support from some Costa Rican faction for a time to be listed as President, even if only briefly? Also, I've read and heard conflicting stories about his execution-- done by who and in what circumstances? I've also seen it described as an "assasination". Is there some source explaining this considered reliable? Wondering simply, -- Infrogmation 03:16, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)


 * The story as it was taught to me in school is that Braulio Carrillo, the anti-Union "supreme chief of state" (effectively the president) of Costa Rica, had declared himself ruler for life, which had made him unpopular. Morazán was exiled in what is now part of Panama and he accepted an invitation to help unseat Carrillo.  Carrillo's army commander was sent to repel Morazán but instead was allied with him and Carrillo had to flee.  Morazán made himself "chief of state"  (I don't think there was any election, since Morazán is listed as "provisional" chief of state.  I will check more carefully).  He declared C.R. part of a new U.S. of Central Am., which most Costa Ricans didn't want.  When he announced a draft for an army to fight to reunite Central Am., everyone turned against him and he was deposed, tried, and executed.  Carrillo's former commander was also executed that same day, with his face to the wall because he was now considered a traitor.


 * The place in San José where Morazán was executed is now called Morazán Park and there's a statue of him there, but Morazán has generally been very unpopular in C.R., mostly because C.R. has never cared for Central American union. Despite his authoritarian rule, some decades ago Carrillo was declared "Architect of the Costa Rican state" by Congress because he separated C.R. from the Union and because he produced the first modern law codes.  Check out  for the usual Costa Rican assessment of Morazán.  --User:Eb.hoop 6:55, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)


 * Interesting. Thank you. -- Infrogmation 17:50, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)

'''As a hondurian I have never understood why is General Morazan buried in another country instead of his beloved Honduras? His controversial statue stands proudly in Plaza Morazan but what about his remains? He was briefly a Chief of State in Costa Rica and Costa Ricans never liked him anyway because he wanted to unify the Central American countries, so why not bring him back to the land and the people that have always loved an admired him? Why hasn't the Hondurian government done anything about this? Is he to remain in CR for eternity? You don't see a George Washington buried in Florence, Italy righ?

If any body knows a logical explanation or has something positive or informative to say, please respond.

Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Misstegus (talk • contribs) 11:22, 28 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Francisco Morazan is buried in El Salvador not in Costa Rica. Also, it was one of his petitions to be buried in El Salvador. 12.36.69.58 (talk) 23:39, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
