The FMLN was formed in 1980 as a combination of different communist and revolutionary socialist organizations. The merger of these movements would be made in 1979 by Fidel Castro, who organized negotiations in Havana.
The movement owes her name to Farabundo Martí, a rebel leader in 1932 against the Maximiliano Hernández Martínez dictator. In 1981, the movement started its first major offensive.
Especially due to the deployment of extreme right-winger by the government, tens of thousands of Salvadorans died. In 1989, the FMLN took part of the capital San Salvador, but was driven out after bombing of the government army.
In 1992, the Peace of Chapultepec was signed, with the FMLN laying down the arms and was transformed into a political party. The FMLN was a long time the second party behind the right-conservative nationalist Republican Alliance (Arena). In 2009 the party became the largest in the congress and won the presidency with Mauricio Funes. Funes was also the first FMLN presidential candidate who had not fought during the civil war.
