Background
"In Nicaragua, U.S. support for the Somoza family dictatorship (1936–1979) and its defeat by an urban insurrection and revolutionary movement (FSLN) resulted in new flows of elite and middle classes to Southern Florida. The creation of U.S. overt and clandestine support for counterrevolutionary organization and militias that attacked Nicaragua and its revolution throughout the 1980s from bases in Honduras further encouraged the emigration of Nicaraguans to the United States. The eventual defeat and worse impoverishment of Nicaragua after the United States reneged on promised economic aid also encouraged continued population flows into the 1990s."
