May 18, 1895 - Today, on the day of his birth, we remember the Nicaraguan revolutionary Augusto C. Sandino. Between 1927 and 1933, Sandino led a revolutionary army against the US invasion of Nicaragua, expelling the US troops through guerrilla war.

Sandino was treacherously assassinated by the Nicaraguan National Guard, led by Anastasio Somoza and backed and founded by the United States. The Somoza dynasty would rule Nicaragua for decades, until in 1979 the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) led a socialist revolution and overthrew the Somoza family dictatorship. [link]
