Detailed explanation-1: -These areas declared independence from Spain on September 15, 1821. In 1823, the United Provinces of Central America was formed of the five Central American states under Gen. Manuel Jose Arce. The federation began to dissolve in 1838 and by the early 1840s was all but defunct.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1822, these five countries initially became part of the Mexican Empire. After Mexico’s Emperor Agustín de Iturbide was overthrown, all five – with the exception of the Guatemalan province of Chiapas – split off again from Mexico and on 1 July 1823 established the United Provinces of Central America.
Detailed explanation-3: -In 1823, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica formed the United Provinces of Central America (Britain had essentially controlled Belize since the 17th century, and Chiapas decided to stay with Mexico).
Detailed explanation-4: -Iturbide’s unsuccessful leadership of Central America and the seeming collapse of the Mexican Empire caused his party to fail against the uprising rebels and on July 1, 1823, Central America gained its independence.
