In the Iran-Contra Affair, weapons were sold to Iran to help gain the release of U.S. hostages in the Middle East.

In the 1980s, officials of the government of the president of the United States, Ronald Reagan, organized an operation to sell arms to Iran to finance the "Nicaraguan Contra", the right-wing guerrillas that opposed the Sandinista National Liberation Front, the party in power.

The sale of arms, moreover, was aimed at persuading Iran to release American hostages kidnapped by pro-Iranian groups in Lebanon.

US Congress had prohibited government organizations from financing the activities of the Nicaraguan "contra". But officials of the Reagan administration, including Colonel North, turned to the National Security Council, which was not explicitly mentioned in the law drafted by Congress, to raise funds for the guerrillas.

Members of the NSC also participated in the illegal shipment of arms to Iran. At that time there was a trade embargo imposed by the United States. The scandal was discovered in 1986 when Lebanese newspapers revealed the arms sales operation.

Battle for Yorktown

Explanation:

  • British general Cornwallis found himself with his army in Yorktown in 1781, where he rested and rebuilt supplies.
  • A significant force under arms had been fighting and dominating the American South for months, so it needed a break.
  • There, unexpectedly from land and sea, they were besieged by the Americans and their allies by the French and badly defeated. After this battle, British King George began negotiations with the Americans, which eventually resulted in the recognition of United States independence .
  • If US forces had not won the revolutionary battle of Yorktown, the United States probably would not have existed today. It was a decisive victory for the combined forces of the Americans led by George Washington and the French led by the Earl of Rochambeau over the British army.
  • After months of the siege of Yorktown, General Lord Cornwallis surrendered his 8,000 men and in a few weeks America fully declared its independence from the British Empire.
