    Nicaragua got its name from the Nicarao people who lived there when the Spanish arrived. The majority of Nicaraguans are Mestizos, people of mixed European and indigenous ancestry. Nicaragua has three main regions - the Pacific lowlands, inhabited by most Nicaraguans and a source of income from agriculture; the mountainous central region, including Lake Nicaragua; and the Caribbean lowlands, hot and humid with mining and fishing. The main source of income is agriculture, with chief manufactured products including foodstuffs, beverages, textiles and chemicals. The western Pacific lowlands around Managua are most heavily populated. In the 1800s, Leon and Granada struggled for power. U.S. Marines
