The Estrada Rebellion was a major conflict in Nicaragua's history. The rebellion began in 1909 when José Santos Zelaya, the country's president, was overthrown by a coalition of Conservative and Liberal rebels led by Juan Estrada. The rebellion lasted for two years and resulted in the deaths of thousands of Nicaraguans.

Here are some of the key players involved in the Estrada Rebellion:

José Santos Zelaya

José Santos Zelaya was the president of Nicaragua from 1893 to 1909. He was a Liberal who was known for his authoritarian rule. Zelaya's policies alienated many Nicaraguans, including the Conservative and Liberal elite. In 1909, a coalition of rebels led by Juan Estrada overthrew Zelaya and forced him to flee the country.

Juan Estrada

Juan Estrada was a Conservative who led the rebellion against Zelaya. He was a successful military leader and was able to unite the Conservative and Liberal rebels under his leadership. Estrada became president of Nicaragua after Zelaya was overthrown, but he was assassinated in 1910.

Adolfo Díaz

Emiliano Chamorro

Emiliano Chamorro was a Conservative who served as president of Nicaragua from 1917 to 1921. He was a strong supporter of the United States and was instrumental in the Bryan-Chamorro Treaty, which gave the United States the exclusive rights to build a canal through Nicaragua.

Luis Mena

Luis Mena was a Liberal who served as president of Nicaragua from 1913 to 1916. He was a moderate who tried to reconcile the Liberals and Conservatives. Mena's presidency was marked by political instability and economic problems.
