Bartolomé Martínez
President of Nicaragua (1873-1936)
Bartolomé Martínez González (1860 in Jinotega – 30 January 1936 in Matagalpa) was a Nicaraguan politician from the Conservative Party. He was a coffee grower. He served as Vice President of Nicaragua from January 1921 to October 1923. After the death of Diego Manuel Chamorro, and after a brief period of 15 days where the Interior Minister, Rosendo Chamorro Oreamuno held office, while waiting for Martínez to return to the capital, he was sworn in to serve the remainder of Chamorro's term as President of Nicaragua from 27 October 1923 to 1 January 1925.
In a short time, he recovered on behalf of the national government the Customs Office, the Central Bank and the Railroad of Nicaragua, which were in the hands of the American bankers Brown and Seligman. He formed a National Government, including the Liberals.

Why this record matters
The phrase “president of Nicaragua (1873-1936)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q438858. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1860, 1936, 1921 and 1923.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
