The Somoza Dynasty and the United States
The United States played a significant role in the establishment and maintenance of the Somoza dynasty. The United States provided military and economic support to Anastasio Somoza García and his son, Luis Somoza Debayle. The United States also turned a blind eye to the Somoza regime's human rights abuses.
The United States' support for the Somoza dynasty was motivated by its desire to maintain control over Nicaragua. Nicaragua was a strategic location for the United States, as it controlled the access to the Panama Canal. The United States also feared that a communist government might come to power in Nicaragua.

The Fall of the Somoza Dynasty
The Somoza dynasty was finally overthrown in 1979 by the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN). The FSLN was a left-wing guerrilla movement that had been fighting against the Somoza regime for years. The FSLN was able to mobilize popular support for its cause, and it eventually succeeded in overthrowing the Somoza regime.
The fall of the Somoza dynasty was a major turning point in Nicaraguan history. It marked the end of a long period of dictatorship and corruption. The FSLN's victory also raised hopes for a more just and equitable society in Nicaragua.
