The Bicentennial of the Independence of Central America is a crucial event, a wake-up call for all countries that have lived a relationship of colonial dependence and have managed to break free from that condition and remain "independent" for two centuries. In other words, these are dates or periods where the past is analyzed, the present is celebrated and the future of the community is projected. Studying the historical, political, economic, social and cultural aspects of these events contributes to understanding the dynamic history of complex realities, which allows understanding the economic history that goes from mere production to the study of consumption, values, effects, including the history of those who make it possible, from the elites to the workers, peasants, workers and social movements; which makes it possible to cross the boundaries between social and cultural history.
