Nicaragua In The 1800's

Nicaragua is very unique in many different ways! It’s located near the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Honduras and Costa Rica border this country. “Nicaragua’s land of beaches is lapped by sparkling seawater, deep forests, long winding rivers, colonial cities, ancient sites thousands of years old, and a huge freshwater lake- the only lake in the world with sharks in it” (Shields 9). This country includes beautiful landscapes, mild climate, republic form of government, low finances, distinctive culture, and many interesting facts.

Nicaragua is surrounded by its beautiful nature including its incredible history. The name ‘Nicaragua’ came from a chief named Nicarao. He was chief to a digenous tribe that settled in Lake Nicaragua around late 1400’s and early 1500’s. In 1524 Hernandez de Cordoda was the first Spanish settler to live in the region of Granada on Lake Nicaragua and Leon Managua. Nicaragua gained its independents from Spain in 1821, making the country part of the Mexican Empire and becoming a member of independent Central American. Nicaragua became an independent republic.

The Mir was a part of a continuous war for knowledge of space and exploration. The Mir had a greater mass than any previous space station.

A treaty between the US and the United Kingdom to rebuild the Nicaragua canal that would connect the pacific ocean to the atlantic. It required both the US and UK to use the canal to an unfair advantage. It also said neither party could attempt to occupy Nicaragua, Costa Rica, or any other part of Central America.

Nicaragua has been through a lot as a country throughout its history. By war and political corruption. Yet, during the beginning of its history around the 15th century much was not going on during that period. Much of its history occurred during the 19th century. In “1523 the Spanish conquered Nicaragua and divided the land into large estates, and forced the native people were forced to work.” (Lambert). The Spanish took most of the control of Central America up in until the late 18th century. Where during “1821 part of Central America broke away from Spanish rule and formed the United Central Provinces” (Lambert). As a result of breaking away from Spanish rule, Nicaragua became an independent country in 1838. “In 1893 a man named Jose Santos Zelaya made himself dictator of Nicaragua. In 1909 there was a rebellion and

Members of the youth group from Henderson Hills Baptist Church were split into two groups over Spring Break, one of which served in Nicaragua, and the other of which served in Belgium. The decision of which students went where was decided by (youth group leaders?), but students were able to apply specifically for which trip they preferred.

The country of Nicaragua, located in the center of Central America, is one the poorest nations in Latin America. Nicaragua’s citizens are primarily mestizo who account for almost 70% of the population. With a population of nearly six million, 58.8% of Nicaraguans live in urban areas, with nearly 2% of citizens migrating from rural areas to the cities in search of jobs and better welfare. However, internal migration to rural areas also exist seasonally for agricultural labor. Due to the current economic standing of the nation, Nicaragua’s current population growth rests at 1%, while losing 3 out of 1,000 citizens due to emigration. While the nation has seen small growth in its GDP at a 4.5% growth rate, many Nicaraguans continue to migrate out of the nation. In 2009, is was estimated that 42.5% of Nicaraguans lived below the poverty line, with the lowest 10% of citizens sharing 1.4% in household income. In 2008, it was recorded that underemployment rate was at 46.5% (CIA Factbook). When looking at the statistics and numbers for this nation, it is easy to understand the reasoning for many Nicaraguans emigrating out of their country.

The reason why there a passageway across the panama is because of spain they possibility build a canal . the U.S. was also interested in building a interoceanic canal which in 1887 the U.S. was regiment t o sent a survey nicaragua as a possible for the canal.then in 1889 the maritime canal company was ask to build a canal either in nicaragua or panama they choose nicaragua and so the construction was begun.by 1893 maritim canal company lost it funding and because of that stock panc in the U.S. and during that time the worker in nicaragua stop but the U.S. did nit lose interest in constructing a canal. In 1897 four years later then again in 1899 congress appointed a cana. In the meantime the french were having problems excavating a canal in panama.

As early as the 1500’s, the idea of constructing a ship canal between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans occurred to navigators and explorers, as the geographical form of the Central American Isthmus was becoming known. Many Isthmus surveys were made over the years. Opinion remained divided between a route through Panama and a longer route through Nicaragua. This divided opinion continued until the building of the Panama Canal was begun by the U.S. in 1904. By the end of the century the U.S. government would find themselves in an unnerving situation; concerned with the Panama Canal and other economic interests would unfortunately demonstrate unequaled force and damage to an innocent people with their focus on something

After the Nicaraguan revolution, in the early 1980’s and prior to taking office as the first female president in the history of Nicaragua, my great-grandmother began the sunday tradition at her home. Her four children and their immediate families got together to have dinner once a week. Because I lived in her house, I never missed one sunday. She did this in order to maintain the family together despite the political differences of her children. I thought of it as her being the roof holding four pillars steady. As a seven year old, I could feel the tension building up from heated conversations. I could be at one corner of the house and would listen how two argued about what the other two were doing wrong, and I had no idea what it was about.

Officially identified as the Republic of Nicaragua, the origin of the country's name is attributed to more than one source.

Having been born and raised in Nicaragua has given me a good understanding of how the government works, but especially how Daniel Ortega has done everything possible to stay in power after many years. Personally, I’ve never been a person who loves politics, but in this case I decided to write about the current situation between Nicaragua and the US. Nicaragua has been facing for far too long corruption among government officials, making our government to become a dictatorship instead of a democracy. Our president tends to have a dishonest agenda, which he uses to his own advantage. A lot of people who knows me might think that I already had a stance on this topic before writing about it, for the simple fact of being Nicaraguan, but to your

In 1979, towards the completion of the Cold War era, Nicaragua´s Sandinista movement appeared on the world platform claiming to signify a new form of socialism that would benefit the oppressed men and women of Nicaragua (Montoya). The topic of interest for my project is examining how the Nicaraguan revolution impacted the roles of women during the revolution and how it has affected the cultural as well as societal norms for women today. It’s imperative to examine the context as to why these women joined the revolution in the first place; what were their legal rights, did they have access to education and health care, and what was their participation in the workforce. Since the main objective of the Nicaraguan Revolution (FSLN) was to overthrow

Latin America is located where present day South America is found. During the 19th century, Latin America was in the process of creating new national states. As Latin America gained its independence, the forces from European (Nationalism) and United States (Democracy) powers which would affect Latin America political, and economically (576).

The Nicaraguan Revolution from 1927 to 1979 was critical in the reconstruction of Nicaragua’s society. In an already turmoil-filled Latin America, this revolution reshaped how Latin American countries dealt with foreign occupation while helping the country form an identity[JLW1] . In Nicaragua, the people were confronted with a war against the United States and resisting the Somoza regime. They had to overcome these obstacles in an attempt to finally establish peace in society. However, their journey towards peace was only complicated by political stratagems by western powers for Cold War supremacy; in other words, Nicaraguans were not only at war with themselves but also with western expansion. The United States government’s obsession with halting the spread of communism and controlling Latin American countries propelled the revolution to new heights.
