The languages ​​of the original indigenous peoples are recognized , such as Nicaraguan Creole English , Miskito , Sumu or Sumo , Garifuna and Rama .

Inhabited by pre-Columbian peoples , the coast of the Pacific Ocean and part of the central region of the current territory of Nicaragua was conquered by Spain in the 16th century, where the province of Nicaragua was established , which belonged to the Spanish Empire (1502-1821), then to the First Mexican Empire (1821-1823), to the United Provinces of Central America (1823-1824), and to the Federal Republic of Central America (1824-1838). It emerged as an independent country in 1838, under the name of "State of Nicaragua" 7​ and began to be called the Republic of Nicaragua, since 1854. 8

Regarding the integration of the so-called Mosquito Coast (the former province of Taguzgalpa ) into the Republic of Nicaragua, in 1860 the Treaty of Managua (Zeledón-Wyke Treaty) was signed between Nicaragua and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, by which he renounced his Miskito protectorate and recognized the sovereignty of Nicaragua; while Nicaragua recognized the autonomy rights of the Miskitos. This is how the Mosquitia Reserve was born. A year after the Treaty of Managua was signed, 51 witas (mayors) met in Bluefields and approved the Constitution of the Reserve, inspired by the British consul and which generally established English laws.

The sovereignty of Nicaragua was actually a formality, until in 1894 the Mosquitia was officially and specifically reincorporated into Nicaragua during the government of José Santos Zelaya , through the so-called Reincorporation of the Mosquitia carried out by Rigoberto Cabezas , who had to face an attempt to reestablish its domination by the British, between July and August of that same year. Through the Altamirano-Harrison Treaty of April 19, 1905, Great Britain recognized Nicaragua's absolute sovereignty over the Mosquito Coast, which meant abolishing the Mosquitia Reserve, in exchange for guaranteeing the natives exemption from taxes and military service and guarantee them to live in their villages and ancestral territories according to their own customs.

Nicaragua is a volcanic and tropical country , in its interior it also houses two large lakes: Xolotlán and Cocibolca or "Great Lake of Nicaragua".

After the overthrow of the Somocista dictatorship through the Sandinista Popular Revolution, a Government Board of National Reconstruction (1979-1985) was established as a temporary government board in charge of the executive power and a Council of State in charge of the legislative power with the participation of representatives of the political, social, communal and religious spheres.

In 1984, the first popular elections were held in accordance with the new electoral law. The Government Board of National Reconstruction hands over power to the newly elected president: Daniel Ortega Saavedra . Thus, the transitional Board is dissolved.

During the government of the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) the country suffered a prolonged civil conflict fomented by the intervention of the United States under the administration of President Ronald Reagan , the US government through the CIA ; He secretly formed and trained groups of anti-communist rebels known as Contras , financing a war unauthorized by Congress and going so far as to economically block Nicaragua.
