Sandinistas
The Sandinistas overthrew the right wing Somoza regime of corruption that had support from the U.S.-government, in 1979. The followers of Somoza, who was killed in 1980, formed the Contras and began a guerrilla warfare against the government. Many of them were trained in the School of the Americas (= SOA). The Sandinist government realized social reforms, but these did not convince the USA - and so the war went on for many years, costing between 30,000 and 50,000 lives. When the war finally ended the Sandinistas were beaten in (partly incorrect) elections.
