Best Answer

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.
