Description[ | ]
The largest of the Central American republics, Nicaragua is known for its turbulent history. The country lived through numerous civil wars and foreign interventions until Anastasio Somoza established a notoriously corrupt dictatorship in the 1930s. His family continued to rule until 1979, when the last Somoza was overthrown by sandinista revolutionaries, starting 11 years of civil war between the sandinista government and the contras.
