Flag of Honduras

Honduras is located in Central America between Guatemala and Nicaragua. Originally part of Spain's vast empire in the New World, Honduras became an independent nation in 1821. After two and one-half decades of predominantly military rule, a freely elected civilian government came to power in 1982.
