Sunday October 30, 1921. Failed union.

Evelyn Nesbit standing beside two women in her tearoom, New York City.  This photo was likely published on this day, rather than taken on this day. Nesbit had been a famous actress and model who had been associated with sensational news.  At this point, she was temporarily outside of the entertainment industry.

On this day in 1921, voting took place in Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, to elect a congress for the newly created, but not yet functioning, and in fact never to function, Federation of Central America. The Congress was to take office on January 15, 2022.

It nearly goes without saying that if this union of Central American states had succeeded, the region would be much better off today.
