Roberto Sacasa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roberto Sacasa Sarria (18401896) was President of Nicaragua from 1889 to 1891 and again from 1891 to 1893. Sacasa, a member of the Conservative Party, had many problems due to a split within the conservatives. A rebellion by ex-president Joaquín Zavala in 1893 led to liberal Jose Santos Zelaya coming to power, ending 35 years of conservative rule.
