That statement is incorrect.
- The Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN), named for Augusto César Sandino, did not overthrow the Nicaraguan government in 1937. Sandino led an earlier rebellion against U.S. occupation and the Nicaraguan regime in the late 1920s–early 1930s; he was assassinated in 1934.
- Anastasio Somoza García consolidated power and became president in 1937, beginning the Somoza family’s long rule.
- The FSLN was founded in 1961 and led the revolution that overthrew the Somoza regime on July 19, 1979 — that is when the Sandinistas came to power.
If you want, I can give a short timeline of key events (Sandino’s rebellion, Somoza era, FSLN formation and 1979 revolution).
