Presidency
Diego was praised for his performance under president Adolfo Díaz from both conservative and liberal politicians.
Don Diego was elected President of Nicaragua in 1921, following his nephew Emiliano in that office. The elections faced significant interference from the United States, and was characterized by irregularities. His government faced hard times with questions of electoral fraud, and lack of legitimacy. During his presidency, he crushed an invasion by rebels from Honduras and initiated an agreement between himself and the presidents of Honduras and El Salvador to prevent such invasions in the future. He also signed the Treaty of Peace and Friendship among the Central American countries.Like his predecessor, he continued being obsequious to United states.[3]
The war had a negative impact on the Nicaraguan economy, which was in deep recession since his taking oath of office.[4]
President Diego Manuel Chamorro died in office in 1923, in Managua, aged 62.
