Brief History
At one time a Spanish colony, Honduras gained independence in 1821, and a freely elected government was established in 1982.It is one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere and since its economy relies greatly on coffee and banana exports, it is particularly vulnerable to natural disasters, such as Hurricane Mitch in 1998.
