What cause hunger and homelessness in Nicaragua?

Answer 1

There is a long historical sequences of events that has made Nicaragua what it is today, starting with the arrival of the Spanish Conquistadors in the 16th century, who were there only to loot, and to impose their religion on the population, but not to create a functional society or economy, and then moving through many corrupt, self-serving governments over the centuries. Nicaragua became a kind of political football during the Cold War era, with the US seeking to retain its dominance throughout the Western Hemisphere, while various leftist factions had other ideas. Neither side of the Cold War did very much to elevate the standard of living, or to solve social problems in Nicaragua. Political disputes in Nicaragua rage on to this day, long after the end of the Cold War, while the general population suffers. Nobody actually wants to perpetuate hunger and homelessness in Nicaragua, but nobody is investing the resources to end those things, either. The powers that be have other priorities.
