César Augusto Sandino, also called Augusto César Sandino, (born 1893—died Feb. 23, 1934), Nicaraguan guerrilla leader, one of the most controversial figures of 20th-century Central American history. In Nicaragua he became a popular hero and gave his name to the Sandinistas, a revolutionary group that formed the government from 1979 to 1990.

In 1927 It was agreed to create the National Guard to replace the occupation army that was in our country. Although this agreement , was not fulfilled, in 1930 efforts were made to organize it. In 1932  Anastasio Somoza Garcia was appointed chief Director of the National Guard and Juan Bautista Sacasa was elected president.

On January 1933, the American troops left our country, and the National Guard replaced the occupation troops in defense of imperialist interests.

On February 2,1933 Sandini signed a peace agreement with President Sacasa. In the agreement it was agreed to end the war, proceed to the partial disarmament of Sandino's men and promulgate total amnesty for all the guerrillas.

On February 21, 1934, Sandino was invited to eat dinner with Sacasa at the presidential house. On his return, the car in which he was traveling was stopped by a patrol of the National guard.

Sandino and his generals Umanzor and Estrada, who accompanied him, were riddled with bullets.
