No, the Sandinistas did not take power with the help of the U.S. They overthrew the Somoza Dictatorship in Nicaragua in 1979 through a popular revolution driven by grassroots support and armed struggle. The U.S. initially opposed the Somoza regime but later became involved in the region by funding Contra rebels to combat the Sandinista government. This led to a complex and contentious relationship between the Sandinistas and the U.S. during the 1980s.
