Best Answer

The U.S. Marines occupied Nicaragua from 1912 to 1933, except for a nine-month period beginning in 1925. They had been invited to intervene against a political insurrection by Nicaraguan President Adolfo Diaz because he could not ensure the safety of American citizens in his country. The U.S. Marines had evacuated in 1925, but a violent conflict erupted between Liberals and Conservatives in 1926, so they returned.
