Abstract

Political processes and the contradictions of the system in El Salvador in the second half of the decade of 1970 are presented in this paper. Starting from the electoral fraud of 1972 and 1977, the intensification of the contradictions of the system caused intense rural and urban excitement that the inability of the rulers became the search for radical alternatives. In this context, the zealous defense of their privileges by the national oligarchy, and the U.S. presence, strongly conditioned the context by the end of the decade. Thus, the country inevitably moved toward civil confrontation from 1980-1992.
