The Iran-Contra Affair, Irangate.
It all began in January 1986, when the administration approved Robert McFarlane's plan to employ Michael Ledeen as an intermediary, instead of Israel, to sell arms to Iran in exchange for the release of hostages. The profits would be used for the Contra of Nicaragua. At the end of 1986, a political scandal erupted in Washington. Officers of President Ronald Reagan's high command were exposed for having secretly violated the foreign and domestic policy of the United States. US support for the anti-communist Contras in Nicaragua was revealed to the public when the Nicaraguan Sandinista government brought down an American aircraft carrying supplies on October 5 and captured one of the crew members the next day

Morgarella [4.7K]

During 1200 to 1450, Timbuktu had the largest library in the world and it held hundreds of thousands of books. Their library brought them great wealth and prosperity. However, after Chris Columbus and his Spanish explorers discovered the Americas and eventually started the Columbian Exchange, Africans were greatly disadvantaged. The Europeans captured millions of West Africans and transported them to the Americas as slaves. Timbuktu was located in West Africa. Their library is their biggest token of wealth after all the horror all the enslaved West Africans went through.
