CLAIM A
The history of Imperialism in Nicaragua caused internal conflict such as civil wars. One of the civil wars(The Sandinista Revolution) was against the dictator, Anastasio Somaza Sandino. Sandino was very harsh towards his people. He treated his people as inferiors and didn't give them necessary rations of food. The other civil war was the Contra War mostly in Nicaragua. The Contra War was the Contras against the Sandinista. The problem was the Sandinista were a too communist minded. These examples show how the history of Imperialism causes internal conflict because Imperialism brought different political ideas of government to various areas. Nicaragua was one of these areas. Having communism caused internal conflict because the Contras was against communism as result of their previous dictator but the Sandinista supported Communist ideas. This led to war and an unnecessary 78,000 deaths in total(casualties and military).
