On 1 May 1985, 1 May 1985, Reagan administration publicly referred to the nicaraguan contras and afghan mujahideen as the "moral equal of the Founding Fathers of the United States. ".

As part of his effort to gain Congressional support for the Nicaraguan contras, Reagan labeled the contras "the moral equivalent of our founding fathers", which was controversial because the contras had shown a disregard for human rights.

The scandal related to U.S. policy of Reagan toward two countries that had undergone revolutionary regime change in 1979, Iran and Nicaragua. In Iran, Islamic fundamentalists led by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini had adopted a militantly anti-U.S. posture after toppling the pro-Western government of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi. In Nicaragua, the leftist Sandinistas had taken power from Anastasio Somoza Debayle.

The administration of U.S. Pres. Ronald Reagan feared that the presence of the Marxist-oriented Sandinista government would offer a launchpad for the spread of communist insurgency. In the early 1980s the U.S. government provided military aid and financial support for the warring Nicaraguan opponents of the Sandinista regime.

Why did captain fuchida consider the battle of midway such a devastating loss?

Pavel [41]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Captain Fuchida considered the Battle of Midway such a devastating loss because, with the United States victory, Japan was not able to further expand its reach on the Pacific during World War II. Instead of generating offensives and attacks, after the loss, Japan only could defend positions in the region, allowing the US and allied troops to advance and gain momentum.

The Battle of Midway started on June 4, 1942, and ended on Luly 7, 1942.
