  • The Exposición Centroamericana (Central American Expo) was an industrial and cultural exposition that took place in Guatemala in 1897 and which was approved on 8 March 1894 by the National Assembly by Decree 253 by a suggestion made by president general José María Reina Barrios, at a time when both coffee – only Guatemalan export at the time- and silver international prices were at an all-time high. Its main goal was to showcase the Interoceanic railroad between Iztapa on the Pacific coast and Puerto Barrios on the Atlantic, a project that was well ahead by January 1897, but that was left unfinished when Guatemala went into a deep crisis due to both coffee and silver international prices plummeting after the government had built numerous public buildings and palaces in Guatemala City, simultaneously with the railroad projects. As a result, the Expo failed dramatically, the Guatemalan economic crisis gave rise to several rebellions -mainly the ones in the Highlands and the one on the Eastern Side and president Reina Barrios was eventually assassinated on 8 February 1898.

Tuvo como objetivo primordial la presentación del Ferrocarril interoceánico entre el puerto de Iztapa en la costa del Pacífico y el de Puerto Barrios en la costa del Atlántico, construcciones que estaban muy avanzadas a inicios de 1897, pero que quedaron inconclusas porque Guatemala entró en una profunda crisis derivada de la caída del precio internacional del café, y de la construcción de numerosos edificios y monumentos públicos -incluidos los salones de la Exposición- en la Ciudad de Guatemala, los cuales fueron ejecutados simultáneamente con los ferrocarriles. Como resultado, la Exposición fracasó, la crisis económica de Guatemala dio lugar a rebeliones -como la Revolución quetzalteca de septiembre de 1897- y el presidente Reina Barrios murió asesinado el 8 de febrero de 1898.
