The activities for the national day in Nicaragua are expected to be attended by delegations from other nations, among them Russia, Belarus, Abkhazia, Palestine, Venezuela and other friendly countries.
On July 19, 1979, the third and last armed Revolution in Latin America and the Caribbean triumphed here, followed by the Mexican Revolution (1910) and the Cuban Revolution (1959).
With the triumph of the Sandinista National Liberation Front in Nicaragua, 45 years of exploitation by the Somoza military dictatorship came to an end.
