Republic of Honduras

Honduras, officially the Republic of Honduras, is a country in Central America. It was the home of several Mesoamerican cultures, most notably the Maya, prior to Spanish Colonization in the 16th century.

Thanks to colonialism, Roman Catholicism and the Spanish language are dominant and have blended with indigenous culture.

As of 2021, Honduras is led by a left-wing president, Xiomara Castro, a member of the Liberty and Refoundation Party.^[1] She is the wife of former president Manuel Zelaya who was deposed in a US-backed coup.^[2]
