- Overview
- July 1979, the Sandinista revolution is one of the last hopes and dreams of changing the world. Some Spanish, disappointed by the transition to democracy in Spain, traveled to Nicaragua in search of utopia. The moment of collective ecstasy of the first two years of the revolution cracks with the start of the Contra war, financed by the United States.
