다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study intends to analyze the relationship between the Sandinist revolution in Nicaragua and the United States. More specifically, it aims to examine Sandinista's perception of and policy toward the United States and the counter revolutionary offensive of the United States against the Sandinist regime in Nicaragua.
In 1979, the Sandinistas in Nicaragua succeeded in their revolution. After undergoing many difficulties during their reins of power in the 1980s, however, they but lost the presidential election in 1990. The economic growth was not achieved in Nicaragua due to the long civil war and U.S. interference in Nicaragua that continued since the National Sandinista revolution. U.S. intervention in the National Sandinista revolution was a hindering factor for the Sandinista regime to properly pursue its revolutionary policies. Thus, the establishment of Nicaraguan relations with the United States was the most significant task for the Sandinista regime to solve the success of the revolution.
After their success in revolution in Nicaragua, the Sandinistas could not focus on rebuilding the nation in accordance with their wishes because of U.S. counter revolutionary policy against them. The U.S. counter revolutionary offensive influenced the Nicareguan presidential election in 1990, and the Sandinista regime that lost the election collapsed. The Nicaraguan people suffered psychological fatigue and distress because of U.S. continued threats of war and economic sanctions. As a Result, the Nicaraguans elected anti­ Sandinist candidate supported by the United States.
After trial and error Daniel Ortega of the Sandinista regime became the president again in 2007, Sandinista regime reappeared. Not so as to repeat its failure in the 1980s, the Sandinista regime this time have pursued pragmatic foreign policy, in particular in its relationship with the United States. The Sandinista regime have developed a coalition with leftist governments in Latin America to stand up to the United States. At the same time, the Sandinista government in Nicaragua have tried to develop and maintain close, amicable ties with the United States.
