Managua is the country’s capital and largest city and is also the third-largest city in Central America, behind Tegucigalpa and Guatemala City.
The multi-ethnic population of six million includes people of indigenous, European, African, and Asian heritage.
The main language is Spanish.
Indigenous tribes on the Mosquito Coast speak their own languages and English.
Originally inhabited by various indigenous cultures since ancient times, the region was conquered by the Spanish Empire in the 16th century.
Nicaragua gained independence from Spain in 1821.
The Mosquito Coast followed a different historical path, being colonized by the English in the 17th century and later coming under British rule.
It became an autonomous territory of Nicaragua in 1860 and its northernmost part was transferred to Honduras in 1960.
Since its independence, Nicaragua has undergone periods of political unrest, dictatorship, occupation and fiscal crisis, including the Nicaraguan Revolution of the 1960s and 1970s and the Contra War of the 1980s.
