The Nicaraguan revolution embodied the position of the United States of America from one of the revolutions of the Third World, the revolution in which the country sought to distance the United States from interfering in its internal affairs through its pro-US government, the Somoza Depayil government. The Nicaraguan revolution was composed of workers, peasants, middle class, intellectuals, nationalists and the army, professionals, owners of small and medium-sized property and land, rural and urban businessmen, bourgeois opposition, middle and upper class nationalities, students, women, children, the elderly, Indians, blacks. After more than four decades of US support for the Somoza family in Nicaragua, the great threat came from the popular revolution led by the Sandinista National Liberation Front, which forced the US government to take a stand in support of regime change.
