歷史今天:足球戰爭

【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 The Organization of American States negotiated a cease-fire which took effect on 20 July, with the Salvadoran troops withdrawn in early August.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”戰爭，也被稱爲100小時戰爭，是1969年薩爾瓦多和洪都拉斯之間發生的一次耗時4天的戰爭。這次戰爭是雙方由於移民問題引發的政治衝突。而1970年世界盃足球賽北美洲預選賽第二輪資格賽成爲了這次衝突的導火索。1969年7月14日，薩爾瓦多軍隊向洪都拉斯發動軍事打擊。美洲國家組織通過談判達成了一項停火協議在7月20日開始生效，8月初薩爾瓦多軍隊撤離洪都拉斯。

11年後的1980年10月30日，兩國簽署了和平條約並將兩國的邊界爭端交由國際法庭處理。 1992年，國際法庭裁定大多數有爭議的領土歸洪都拉斯所有，並，洪都拉斯和薩爾瓦多於1998年簽署了邊界劃定條約。判給洪都拉斯的土地面積達到三百七十四點五平方公里。截至2006年初，劃界尚未完成，但洪都拉斯和薩爾瓦多已開始維持正常的外交和貿易關係。
