Suchitoto, a town in El Salvador, experienced abandonment primarily due to the civil war that affected the country from the late 1970s to the early 1990s. While the civil war is the most significant reason for the abandonment, the town has also been affected by other events, but among the options you provided, the most relevant additional factor is outside invaders.
If focusing on environmental events like earthquakes, floods, or volcanic eruptions, these are common in the region but do not specifically relate to the abandonment of Suchitoto in the same way as the civil war and the pressure from outside groups or invaders do.
For precise historical context, the impact of outside invaders and military actions during the civil war led to significant displacement and abandonment in various areas, including Suchitoto.
