- On this day in 1979, Nicaragua threw off the shackles of US imperialism when the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) ousted the brutal US backed dictator Anastasio Somoza. But their struggle wouldn't end with freedom, having to endure decades more of US economic and military interference. In spite of that, the FSLN have transformed Nicaragua from one of the poorest countries in the Americas to one where extreme poverty has been almost eradicated. Watch Ollie Vargas round up the history of the revolution.

I am from Hellas, and i was 13 years old and still remembered in the news the fall of Manangua to the Santinistas
Brave men who fought for a brighter future.....
So few in the US understand the extent of our crimes around the world.
I do not celebrate the 4th of July
i never stood for the flag as a kid
@@BettyBlack99 Are you saying the people didn't pay the price? We're an arms dealer, not a savior.
@@BettyBlack99 lmao looks like you got reading to do, you don't ask the devil for help, they asked him again in 2018 and failed
FACTS.
Well, the revolution didn’t turned out well, either. There’s elitism, poverty, censorship and oppression towards the civil population. I grew up in Nicaragua and can tell you all it was not nice and watching the Sandinista police shouting teenage boys for pacifically protesting for their rights and freedom.
My dad was a Sandinista in the rebellion❤️ but he left the country with our family in 1987 bc things were getting bad.
Damn! I never knew that the Sandinistas are still in power today! You learn something new everyday I guess, but alhamdulillah this time it's good news!
Not nothing to be proud of … The sandinistas from the 80-90s are not the same ones that are in power now , the ones that are in control now is a straight up dictatorship that has killed and jailed many innocent ppl
Their fight was once just and right, but they replaced a brutal dictatorship for another
¡Viva los sandinistas! 🇳🇮🇦🇴
Viva Angola también
Nice. More of this
If you wanna see more, there’s a great documentary about it called ‘Las Sandinistas’
It has in depth interviews with many of the women who led the revolution
🇳🇮🚩 Viva os camaradas (heroínas e heróis) sandinistas ❤️❤️❤️
Well that's a load of BS. The US didn't want a Communist country in Central America because they'd be allied with the Soviets, not because they had plans for societal improvements. As it was, those improvements never materialized, and the Sandinistas forced peasants to work the coffee fields even in the middle of battles to raise money. My father-in-law WAS a Sandinista until he started seeing the horrible things the Sandinistas did. "Worse than the Guardia", according to him. It was never a nice country to live in, it was an impoverished police state, and it is one again.
lmao what delusion you liberals reading now
@@unpopulerhe literally said his family saw firsthand the atrocities.
@@idkbro6195 wow such a great argument I forgot it was an argument!
My dad said the same thing. It got really bad. He used to be a Sandinista too back when they were trying to overthrow Somoza
What right does the United States have to intervene in the affairs of other countries?
Particularly, when that would NEVER EVER be allowed to happen the other way around?
Bite the dust...
golden rule
Solidarity with the working class forever! Overthrow capitalist imperialism!
