After the Bogota Accords, many speculated that both sides would want round 2. They were right, but did not predict the communists coming in to play. In 1976, the Communist Sandinista party won the elections in Nicaragua, and began funding FARC in Colombia alongside Hugo Chavez. This led to a trilateral cold war in the region between Colombia/USA/Brazil, Venezuela/Bolivia/Nicaragua and the rest of the non-US North America, and Chile/Argentina/Uruguay/Paraguay. The McCain administration would also apply this tactic of subversion until the war broke out.
