Background of Imperialism in the Country: My article is about Nicaragua that is located in Central America. This country was imperialized in the 16th century by the Spain. Nicaragua received its independence in 1821.
Summary of Article: Nicaragua was imperialized by Spain and regain its independence in which they had to find a new government. Somoza family was the first to control economic, government and military of Nicaragua in the 1930-1979. They soon was overthrown by a uprising in which Nicaragua in the 1980 was the center of the cold war on the west. Mr. Ortega ran the for president and won which outrage Nicaragua. The people believed Ortega's party cheated and he wanted to limit human rights. he was soon kicked out but Nicaragua suffered from transition to find a government that led them to live in poverty, poor education and unemployment. The Imperializers affected them to not be able to sustain themselves because they can't find the right government to protect their rights.
Suggestions for improvement: The issue discuss in this article is a transition to find a government ever since they regain their independence. This is a social issue because Nicaragua suffer form poverty and they have poor education with high unemployment which affect the people. what can be done to solve this issue to find a candidate to run for president and that has the knowledge to run the country by protecting people right or the people can notified their complaints to their government so that they can make change. The group that is in a position to effect change are the people affected by the situation and the local government because they can both work together to address these issue in Nicaragua by making a petition or gathering money to fix their issues within their country.
