Nicaragua had been slightly stagnant compared to the rest of the Americas, stagnant but stable. The FRCA currency they used still held economic power and wasn't completely worthless like the Mexican Peso to the north. In order to stimulate the economy (and to make the Junta out to be the 'good guys') the government 'decided' that they would make good use out of the French retired general, Theophile Voirol, more than they already had with the famous Voirol reforms. As he was getting older and unable to lead soldiers as he once had in Spain and in Algeria, the Junta thought that he would be more use teaching the new generation of Nicaraguan military professionals.
The Academy, known in Spanish as "La Academia Voirol de Estrategia y TecnologÃa Militar", or more colloquially "Academia Voirol" would be built in Granada, the capital of the Republic. The academy would be used to create a new generation of leading, educated men from Nicaragua in order to create a modernised military with modern tactics and skills. Many of the new students of the academy would most likely be ex-Hidalgo's or ex-nobility from the Vice-Captaincy of New Spain as they had taken the role of the upper class once the monarchy was destroyed, but they essentially were the same with just a different name. The academy would be prestigious and would only let in the highest brow of society, essentially the modern-day nobility. This military schools would have two functions: to provide instruction for serving officers in the functions of the efficient staff-officer, and to school youngsters before they gained an officer's commission.
The academy would be based on French traditions, as would be evident by the overview of the new 'Rector Voirol', he would use his own knowledge to ensure that the newly made Nicaraguan academy would be modern and professional. As the Junta was rather friendly to Voirol, no expenses would be too much to provide for the new academy. Modern day textbooks, equipment, facilities, all would be paid for.
