Abstract

The article poses a series of considerations, suggesting, as well, based on deeply analyzed rule-of-thumb evidence, a new periodizing and eventual reconceptualizing of a particular period in Nicaraguan history, considered one of the most irremovable periods in terms of social and historiographic construction: the “Conservative Republic” period, traditionally situated between 1858 and 1893. The author explains how the country’s political stability, social harmony, and economic progress, generally attributed to such period and supported by the historiographic discourse, are rooted on premises, which, if not at all false, are at least debatable, and arise from legitimating interests of a specific political project, thus hindering the possibility for new interpretations and periodizing of Nicaraguan history.
