Which groups fought in the Salvadoran Civil War?

The Salvadoran Civil War, which lasted for 12 years, was primarily fought between the following two sides:

• The Salvadoran Government: The national army and government forces, which were trained and supplied by the United States throughout the 1980s.21
• The Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN): An insurgent organization formed in 1980 by the unification of several separate guerrilla groups. The FMLN served as the paramilitary arm of the Democratic Revolutionary Front (FDR), a coalition of dissident political groups.21

The conflict was characterized by intense fighting and significant human rights concerns, resulting in more than 75,000 deaths. The war concluded following the signing of the Chapultepec Peace Accords on January 16, 1992, after which the FMLN disarmed and transitioned into a legal political party.12
