Sacasa, Juan Bautista

Sacasa, Juan Bautista

▪ president of Nicaragua
born Dec. 21, 1874, León, Nicaragua
died April 17, 1946, Los Angeles, Calif., U.S.
 Nicaraguan statesman who served as his country's president in 1932–36.

      Sacasa studied in the United States from 1889 to 1901, earning an M.D. from Columbia University. In 1924 he was elected vice president of Nicaragua as leader of the Liberal Party in a coalition government. The following year a coup d'état installed General Emiliano Chamorro Vargas as president and forced Sacasa into exile. When Chamorro was replaced by Adolfo Díaz in 1926, Sacasa returned to assert his claim to the presidency. In the wake of Sacasa's announcement, Mexico sided with Sacasa; the United States, involved in a dispute with Mexico and determined to prevent Mexico from gaining the prestige of backing a winning candidate, supported Díaz. In the unrest over the claims to the presidency, the U.S. government sent marines to maintain order in Nicaragua. On their arrival in April 1927, Sacasa reluctantly accepted a compromise offered by the United States, by which he withdrew his assertion. Sacasa was elected president in 1932 but was overshadowed by his subordinates César Augusto Sandino and General Anastasio Somoza Garciá and was ousted in June 1936 by Somoza.
