The Battle of Los Llanos de Santa Rosa was fought on February 22 of 1852 between the coalition of the Guatemalan and Salvadoran armies and the Honduran army under the command of José Trinidad Cabañas.[2]
In 1852, under President José Trinidad Cabañas, he led Honduran forces to Los Llanos de Santa Rosa (current day Santa Rosa de Copán to defend the tobacco factory, plantations, and tobacco production against invasions from Guatemalan and Salvadoran armies. Despite being outnumbered (800 vs. 2,700), the Honduran army, led by Cabañas, defeated the combined forces.[3]
