Nicaraguan Revolution

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Nicaraguan Revolution

The revolt 1978–79 in Nicaragua, led by the socialist Sandinistas against the US-supported right-wing dictatorship established by Anastasio Somoza. His son, President Anastasio (Debayle) Somoza (1925–1980), was forced into exile in 1979 and assassinated in Paraguay. The Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) was named after Augusto César Sandino, a guerrilla leader killed by the US-trained National Guard in 1934.
