Long before Christopher Columbus arrived the Mayan civilization collapsed and Christopher Columbus visited Trujillo in Northeast Honduras on the first voyage to the New World in 1502.

For the first millennium, Honduras was the home of the Mayan civilization in Central American culture before the west and other Colombia. Columbus first investigated the country in 1502 and Honduras became a Spanish colony. Honduras and the other four Central American countries announced their independence from Spain on 15th September 1821 and formed the Central American Union. In 1838, Honduras left the coalition and became independent. At the beginning of the 20th century, the political turmoil in Honduras led to occupation of the US Marine Corps.

El Salvador invaded Honduras after thousands of Salvadores were exiled. In 1969 it was called "football" as it began with football, and about 5000 people lost their lives in this war.

In 1969, Honduras and El Salvador conducted a so - called football war. After President Honduras Oswaldo Lopez Alle Rano condemned the economic deterioration of Honduras against immigration from El Salvador, tension in the border led to a fight between the two countries. El Salvador played a match of three rounds of football knockout with Honduras before the World Cup qualifying, and the relationship reached a low point. As the tension increased, July 14, 1969, the Salvador army attacked the Honduras army. The National Organization of the United States entered into force on July 20 and negotiated a ceasefire agreement to evacuate the Salvador army in early August. Factors that caused the conflict were border conflict and the existence of thousands of Salvadori who are illegally living in Honduras. After a week of war, as many as 130,000 El Salvador immigrants were expelled from abroad
