"The Salvadoran Civil War (1979–1992) was a conflict in El Salvador between the country's US-backed military-led government and the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN), a coalition or 'umbrella organization' of five left-wing guerrilla groups. Significant tensions and violence already existed in the 1970s, before the full-fledged official outbreak of the civil war—which lasted for twelve years.

The conflict ended in the early 1990s. An unknown number of people disappeared, and more than 75,000 were killed."
