Sure but at least in American English no one would refer to this region as Central America.

    Which is probably why the authors note that the war is known by two names.

    Ok but one of them, which seems to be the main one, is just straight up geographically inaccurate lol

    Fair. Officially, you're right. None of those countries are technically "Central America" according to any definition of the region.

    They could be confusing it with "Middle America", which sometimes includes Colombia and Venezuela but that doesn't explain Ecuador and Peru, which have always, in any context, been South American.
