well after Somoza fell from power the FSLN took over Nicaragua for 21 years. During that time many families including mine left Nicaragua. since everyone was leaving, mostly the wealthy, there homes and belongings were taken away by the communist government the FSLN. My family was also affected, we lost houses, cars, offices, schools, and even small things like clothes, refrigerators, ovens, shoes, jewelry, pictures, TVs and even lamps. Before the war Nicaragua was one of the riches countries in the western hemispheres and was one of the U.S. strongest allies. Everything was going great until the a democratic president came to power here in the US, Jimmy Carter. He turned his back on Nicaragua after 40 years of being allies. Carter also turned many countries against Nicaragua; like Mexico, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Panama, and Colombia. After the war Nicaragua was no longer the breadbasket of Central America it was the second poorest country in the western hemisphere and it still is. And all because of jimmy carter, he even threatened Israel, he kept an Israeli cargo ship from arriving to Nicaragua to help Somoza. And you know what his excuse was it was that he wanted to see if there were civil rights in Nicaragua, he was worried that Nicaragua would over power the U.S. But he didn't worry about communist China or Russia or Cuba. he was after Nicaragua and do you know what he left; he left poverty and communism, people had to make lines to get food. the Nicaraguan government took people's homes so that they can give it to other people.
let me tell you something if you Google Somoza all you're going to see is a bunch of U.S. hate filled articles if you really want to know how Nicaragua used to be you need to ask someone who was really there. i don't know every detail because i wasn't born there and I'm not from that time, but people like my family and from that time do know what happened

Poverty started rising. A new corrupt government came to power. Production started to lower drasticly. The economy went back 50 years. People started emigrating to other countries. Property got confiscated. Jail or death for opposer. Thank You Daniel Ortega!
the U.S. put him in power after creating the National Guard to fight against the guerrillas at that time. The guerrillas were lead by Augusto Sandino, who thought that the U.S. and the government at that time were taking advantage of the people in Nicaragua so decided to fight them. After the creation of the National Guard, Somoza was able to destroy the guerrillas and finally kill Sandino. After this he became the president of Nicaragua.
The Nicaraguan Revolution was the movement that was led by the Sandinista National Liberation Front to oust the Samoza dictatorship in 1978-79. It was a violent overthrow and the SNLF remained in power until 1990, the end of the Contra War.
