The Democratic Revolutionary Front (FDR)

The Democratic Revolutionary Front (FDR) is a political and military organization primarily associated with Nicaragua. Formed in the 1970s, it aimed to overthrow the Somoza dictatorship, which had ruled the country for decades. The FDR consisted of various leftist groups advocating for social justice and democracy. Its efforts contributed to the success of the Sandinista Revolution in 1979, leading to significant political and social changes in Nicaragua. The FDR's legacy is intertwined with ongoing discussions about governance, human rights, and revolutionary movements in Latin America.
