(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.

Brazil’s road to independence was different from that of its Latin American neighbors in that
scoray [572]

Answer:

Compared to neighboring Spanish colonies, Brazil's declaration of independence turned out to be virtually without shots. The Portuguese troops of General di Avilés never entered into an armed confrontation with supporters of independence. Moreover, the independence movement was headed by the heir to the Portuguese throne, Prince Pedro.

Today, Brazil is in fifth place among the countries of the world in terms of area and population. The country is developing rapidly, both culturally and economically. Brazil plays an important role in Latin American and world politics, and in culture it is the de facto leader of the Portuguese-speaking world, surpassing the former metropolis in terms of importance due to its population amount.
