History

Stells [14]4 years ago

Answer:

With the vast Atlantic ocean separating Britain from the Colonies such that a trip from one side to the other could take between 6 weeks to 2 months, Britain could not impose the control it wanted on the colonies and the colonies could not always rely on the British Government to make decisions for them because responses could take too long to be transmitted as they did not have the modern forms of communication that we do today.

Americans therefore not having the weight of the British Government on them had to come up with a Government that would manage their affairs and respond speedily to their own issues as well. The British for the most part let the colonists do what they wanted so long as they purchased British goods and maintained loyalty to the crown.

(1978–79) 10,000 total killed

(1981–89) 10,000–43,000 total killed, best estimate using most detailed battle information is 30,000 killed.

The Nicaraguan Revolution (Spanish: Revolución Nicaragüense or Revolución Popular Sandinista) encompassed the rising opposition to the Somoza dictatorship in the 1960s and 1970s, the violent campaign led by the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) to oust the dictatorship in 1978–79, the subsequent efforts of the FSLN to govern Nicaragua from 1979 to 1990, and the Contra War, which was waged between the FSLN-led government of Nicaragua and the United States-backed Contras from 1981–1990. The revolution marked a significant period in Nicaraguan history and revealed the country as one of the major proxy war battlegrounds of the Cold War with the events in the country rising to international attention.

The initial overthrow of the Somoza regime in 1978–79 was a bloody affair, and the Contra War of the 1980s took the lives of tens of thousands of Nicaraguans and was the subject of fierce international debate. During the 1980s, both the FSLN (a leftist collection of political parties) and the Contras (a rightist collection of counter-revolutionary groups) received large amounts of aid from the Cold War superpowers (respectively, the Soviet Union and the United States).

The Contra War ended after the signing of the Tela Accord in 1989 and the demobilization of the FSLN and Contra armies. A second election in 1990 resulted in the election of a majority of anti-Sandinista parties and the FSLN handing over power.

In a dictatorship how is the rule of law regarded

Alinara [238K]

The rule of law isn't regarded or respected at all. The ruler can break the rules as they please because in dictatorship, one person has absolute power.

i.e.: The country Sneep ( clearly fictional) is under a dictatorship. The ruler is Jeff.
There's a rule forbidding people from scratching in public.
Jeff scratches himself in public.

Only Jeff finds relief to his itches in public.

Only Jeff
