1852 CE to 1863 CE

The fighting between liberals and conservatives is temporarily set aside because of the 1855 appearance in Central America of an American soldier of fortune, William Walker, who establishes himself as president of Nicaragua in 1856.

Cabanas briefly considers seeking Walker's aid in attempting to return to power.

Instead, armies from all the countries of Central America join to oppose Walker, who is forced to abandon Nicaragua in 1857 and return to the United States.
