Augusto César Sandino was a Nicaraguan revolutionary leader born on May 18, 1895. He is best known for his resistance against the United States military intervention in Nicaragua during the 1920s and 1930s. Sandino's efforts aimed to protect Nicaraguan sovereignty and promote social justice, making him a symbol of anti-imperialism in Latin America. Sandino founded the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN), which later inspired the Sandinista movement in Nicaragua. His legacy continues to influence Nicaraguan politics and culture, as he is often celebrated as a national hero for his fight against foreign domination and his vision for a more equitable society.
