Sandino, Augusto César
Born May 18, 1895, in Ni-quinohomo, Masaya Department; died Feb. 21, 1934, in Managua. National hero of the Nicaraguan people. General (1926). Son of a peasant. Sandino changed his occupation many times, and in search of work he left his native land. He worked in mines in Honduras and Guatemala and in oil fields in Mexico. Upon returning to his homeland in 1926, he joined the national liberation struggle against the American imperialists and reactionary forces within the country. The partisan struggle that he led in mid-1927 against the US troops that were occupying Nicaragua grew into a civil war, and led to the liberation of the country from the occupation forces in January 1933. In February 1934, Sandino, who had been summoned to Managua for official talks with the government on ending the civil war, was treacherously killed. REFERENCEGonionskii, S. A. Sandino.

But because of suspicions about the ulterior motives of Chavez, the other rulers in the region have compelled their Venezuelan counterpart to include in the list of ALBA's inspirers such eminent Latin American figures as Jose Marti, Antonio Jose de Sucre, Bernardo O'Higgins, Jose de San Martin and Augusto Cesar Sandino. Ortega's Sandinista movement was named after revolutionary leader Augusto Cesar Sandino, who fought against the US occupation of Nicaragua from 1927 and was eventually assassinated by the dictator Anastasio Somoza Garcia in 1934. |
