When Central America Said Enough Is Enough, The Fall of William Walker (Cuando Centroamérica Dijo Basta, La Caída de William Walker)

0:000:00

The US and other international powers have been meddling in Latin America for as long as we can remember, but one of the worst cases of foreign intervention (ever) occurred in Nicaragua, in the mid-19th Century (and may explain Nicaragua's strong apprehension towards the US today).


William Walker. Manifest Destiny. Have you ever heard of these terms? William Walker was a military man with ambitions to rule, who took advantage of a civil war in Nicaragua to offer his help and show up as the heroic savior of the country...


But things soon turned ugly as he decided he had more plans than just earning a living as a mercenary, and decided to take power as the ruling leader of Nicaragua, soon expanding his plans to take over other countries in Central America, and an international war broke out!


However, his plans didn't end up as he wished they had, and an ugly surprise was awaiting Walker in the conclusion of this tale... but you'll have to listen to the latest episode of the Learn Spanish with Stories podcast to find out how exactly is all went down! Enjoy!
