When was Panama conquered by Spain or any other country?
Two months later, however, the United States sent 24,000 soldiers to Panama and appointed President Guillermo Endara, the man who had in fact won the April 1989 elections. Noriega was imprisoned and sent to the US in January 1990, where he was indicted in Miami, Florida in April 1992. The Endara government, however, was faced with serious economic problems, but gradually managed to recover. In 1994 Ernesto Pérez Balladares, candidate of the rightist Democratic Revolutionary Party, won the presidential elections. Mireya Moscoso, widow of former president Arnulfo Aria, succeeded him. In the 2004 presidential elections, Martín Erasto Torrijos Espino, a candidate of the same party, was elected.
