		By 1944, Somoza owned fifty-one cattle ranches and forty-six coffee plantations (making him the largest coffee producer in Nicaragua) and by 1945, Somoza was estimated to have between ten and sixty million dollars in income and investments (Booth 1985:67-68).
		In 1977, opposition to the Somoza regime was at an all time high due to the three year state of siege imposed by Somoza in 1974, and the anti-FSLN units of the National Guard founded in May of 1977 (Booth 1985:157,158).
		Somoza ended the state of siege in September 1977 (due to negative international press from Amnesty International), which resulted in a release of much hostility by the general Nicaraguan public and an attack on several National Guard posts across Nicaragua by the FSLN in October (Booth 1985:158-9).

		Within Nicaragua, opposition to the Somoza dictatorship was broad-based, but lines were drawn early on between supporters and critics of the revolutionary government that came to power, even when family loyalties were divided.
		Corrupt and prone to using force, the Somozas and the National Guard grew wealthy and powerful at the country's expense and were widely feared and hated.
		The decade of revolutionary government (1979-1990) began with the exuberance of its youthful leadership, a commitment to political-economic transformation, and a passion for social justice—though class tensions arose early on when the Sandinistas' priority of redistributing resources in the interest of the poor majority threatened to undercut the privilege of the middle and upper classes.
