 Central America is generally understood to be a geographic region between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea consisting of an isthmus connecting the larger land masses of North and South America; and a political-economic region consisting of the countries of Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. In the early 19th century the present day El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica (and a part of the Mexican state of Chiapas) formed The United States of Central America. In 1991 the seven nations of Central America, plus the Caribbean island nation of the Domincan Republic formed SICA (Sistema para la Integracion Centroamericana).
Central America is a geologically active region with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions due to the Pacific Plate steadily subducting under the relatively stable Caribbean Plate. The entire isthmus is a "biodiversity hotspot" with multiplicity of biological resources and indigenous cultures.

The Maya
(500 B.C. – 900 A.D.)
The Maya Indians built one of the world's most remarkable civilizations in the jungles of Central America. Like the ancient Greeks, who civilization was nearing its peak just as the Maya appeared, the Maya are known for their fabulous temples, and for their amazing knowledge of math and science.
