Nicaragua - Part 1

Buenos dias todos! Get comfortable because you are in for a treat. Just think back on your day of 9 hours of school and work. *sigh*. This is going to be a good study break or a relaxation you might be thinking to yourself. Let't read up on Bucky's life.

Do I have your attention yet? Good! Because while your eyes were fixated on this blog I sent a forcefield through the intergalactic rays of time and space to lock you into position. Just try and move away from the computer. See? You can't.

Now, don't be mad. I am doing this for your own good. Trust me! I know that your day had been long and tiring, but I need to give you one more lesson. The forcefield only lasts for 10 minutes total and I am already used up 60 seconds, so I will cut to the chase.

After 1 month of processing my time in Nicaragua I finally managed to figure out a way to introduce all of the important parts about this country in a not so boring and low in interaction kind of way. First lesson: The History of Nicaragua. This is crucial to to understanding the politics and people of today because their history of dictatorship, revolution, civil war and corruption remains alive in those living today. You might as well stop resisting, because you WILL get this history lesson you will appreciate it. Enjoy!



Great job class! You all got an A+ for attendance and participation today. You are free to go, but I expect you all back for our next lesson on poverty.

If you are interested in learning more about the history of Nicaragua watch "Nicaragua - An Unfinished Revolution" on YouTube, or the fictitious film "Under Fire" based off of the Sandinista Revolution leading up to the fall of Somoza. Both cover in much more detail what I mention here and are quite entertaining.
