Under President William Howard Taft, the U.S. intervened in Nicaragua primarily through the implementation of "dollar diplomacy," which aimed to use economic power to influence the region. In 1911, the U.S. supported a coup against the Nicaraguan president, José Santos Zelaya, to protect American investments and maintain stability. Following the coup, American troops were deployed in 1912 to support the newly established government and protect U.S. interests, leading to a prolonged military presence in Nicaragua. This intervention marked a significant moment in U.S.-Latin American relations, emphasizing economic interests over political sovereignty.
