The Football War ( also called The Soccer War or 100 - hours War ) was a term coined by Polish reporter Ryszard Kapuściński to describe a brief conflict between El Salvador and neighbouring Honduras . He argued that the war began after the rival nations traded wins during the qualifying round for the 1970 FIFA World Cup . But this event was not the cause of the war . Tensions had been mounting between both nations for several years because of immigration and economic problems , resulting on the war in 1969 . The soccer matches incidents just one of several events that happened during that time . Longstanding tensions between the countries were heightened by media reports on both sides , each accusing the other of hooliganism and violence toward their own football fans . On June 26 , 1969 , El Salvador dissolved all ties with Honduras , the events where used as a call for nationalist pride for both governments and the media . On July 14 Salvadoran forces began moving rapidly into Honduras following a series of border clashes . Their progress halted after the Organization of American States ( OAS ) and the United States brought heavy diplomatic pressure to bear on both governments in an effort to effect a cease - fire . A ceasefire was ultimately negotiated and signed by July 18 , with Salvadoran forces withdrawing from Honduras by August 2 following guarantees of safety for Salvadoran citizens in Honduras by the Honduran government . The Salvadoran Civil War . Following the 1979 coup d ' état , El Salvador split along extremist right - wing and left - wing political ideologies .

Catepanate of Italy The Catepanate ( or Catapanate ) of Italy ( " Katepaníkion Italías " ) was a province of the Byzantine Empire , comprising mainland Italy south of a line drawn from Monte Gargano to the Gulf of Salerno . Amalfi and Naples , although north of that line , maintained allegiance to Constantinople through the catepan . The Italian region of " Capitanata " derives its name from the Catepanate . History . In 873 , the Byzantines retook Bari from the Saracens . Along with the already existing theme of Calabria , the region of Apulia , around Bari , formed a new theme , that of Longobardia . In ca . 965 , a new theme , that of Lucania , was established , and the " stratēgos " ( military governor ) of Bari was raised to the title of " katepanō " of Italy , usually with the rank of " patrikios " . The title of " katepanō " meant " the uppermost " in Greek . This elevation was deemed militarily necessary after the final loss of nearby Sicily , a previously Byzantine possession , to the Arabs . Some Norman adventurers , on pilgrimage to Monte Sant ' Angelo sul Gargano , lent their swords in 1017 to the Lombard cities of Apulia against the Byzantines . From 1016 to 1030 the Normans were pure mercenaries , serving either Byzantine or Lombard , and then Duke Sergius IV of Naples , by installing their leader Ranulf Drengot in the fortress of Aversa in 1030 , gave them their first foot hold and they began an organized conquest of the land . In 1030 there arrived William and Drogo , the two eldest sons of Tancred of Hauteville , a petty noble of Coutances in Normandy . The two joined in the organized attempt to wrest Apulia from the Byzantines , who had lost most of that province by 1040 . Bari was captured by the Normans in April 1071 , and Byzantine authority was finally terminated in Italy , five centuries after the conquests of Justinian I . The Byzantines returned briefly to besiege Bari in 1156 . The title " Catapan of Apulia and Campania " was revived briefly in 1166 for Gilbert , Count of Gravina , the cousin of the queen regent Margaret of Navarre . In 1167 , with his authority as catapan , Gilbert forced German troops out of the Campania and compelled Frederick Barbarossa to raise the siege of Ancona .
