Zelaya was a progressive president who felt that the modernization of Nicaragua must be accomplished to ensure its success.
Zelaya believed that outside investment was the only way to get the process of modernization started. Although Zelaya knew the risk of an outside takeover, he saw no other way to save the Nicaraguan economy without the support of outside investors.
Zelaya, feeling the effects of his foreign investors, began to fear a growing American imperial takeover, and began to stake his country's claim on its own resources. This reclaiming of control from the United States, by President Zelaya, came to a boil when Zelaya blocked a local canal proposed by the United States.
