After the Spanish-American war, the U.S. began invading and occupying many countries in the Latin America area. This period of skirmishes, invasions, and occupations was named the Banana Wars, which lasted from 1898 to 1934. One of these invaded countries was Nicaragua, which is the main focus of this video. From 1912 to 1933, Nicaragua was occupied by United States Army forces with support of the Nicaraguan government. During this period, the U.S. Army fought various battles against Nicaraguan revolutionary forces who rebelled against the occupation. Finally, in 1933, the U.S. Army retreated from the island due to the beginning of the Great Depression, even though the occupation had been a success for the U.S. Armed forces. It is approximated that around 500-1,500 people died during these combat situations.
