历史今天:足球战争

【英文原文】

Football War

The "Football" War, also known as the Soccer War or 100-hour War, was a four-day war fought by El Salvador and Honduras in 1969. It was caused by political conflicts between Hondurans and Salvadorans, namely issues concerning immigration from El Salvador to Honduras. These existing tensions between the two countries coincided with the inflamed rioting during the second North American qualifying round for the 1970 FIFA World Cup. On 14 July 1969, the Salvadoran army launched an attack against Honduras. The Organization of American States negotiated a cease-fire which took effect on 20 July, with the Salvadoran troops withdrawn in early August.

Eleven years later the two nations signed a peace treaty on 30 October 1980 to put the border dispute before the International Court of Justice. In 1992, the Court awarded most of the disputed territory to Honduras, and in 1998, Honduras and El Salvador signed a border demarcation treaty to implement the terms of the ICJ decree. The total land area given to Honduras from El Salvador after the court's ruling was around 374.5 km2. As of the beginning of 2006 demarcation had not yet been completed, but Honduras and El Salvador maintain normal diplomatic and trade relations.

“足球”战争，也被称为100小时战争，是1969年萨尔瓦多和洪都拉斯之间发生的一次耗时4天的战争。这次战争是双方由于移民问题引发的政治冲突。而1970年世界杯足球赛北美洲预选赛第二轮资格赛成为了这次冲突的导火索。1969年7月14日，萨尔瓦多军队向洪都拉斯发动军事打击。美洲国家组织通过谈判达成了一项停火协议在7月20日开始生效，8月初萨尔瓦多军队撤离洪都拉斯。

11年后的1980年10月30日，两国签署了和平条约并将两国的边界争端交由国际法庭处理。 1992年，国际法庭裁定大多数有争议的领土归洪都拉斯所有，并，洪都拉斯和萨尔瓦多于1998年签署了边界划定条约。判给洪都拉斯的土地面积达到三百七十四点五平方公里。截至2006年初，划界尚未完成，但洪都拉斯和萨尔瓦多已开始维持正常的外交和贸易关系。
