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

The correct answer is <span>involved the use of profits from Iranian arms sales to support the Contras

It was a scandal during Regan but the biggest problem was that it sold weapons to Iran which was on an arms embargo which the US didn't care about. The funds gotten were used to fund Contra fighters in Nicaragua which was also problematic.</span>

The Battle of ___ forced the British to surrender, ending the Revolutionary War
irina [24]

Answer:

Yorktown

<h2>What made the Battle of Yorktown significant?</h2>

There were three British armies in the US at the time. One was in New York, an island that the British Navy had protected from invasion. The French declaration of war had greatly aided the Continental Army's pursuit of them there in 1778, which prevented them from landing nearby.

Georgia and South Carolina each had the southern garrison force. The southern Continental Army had recently engaged in two engagements and a siege. All of them were won by the British, but only after they had stripped the garrisons of their weapons and supplies while the local militias had destroyed the garrisons (as planned). The "victorious" British discovered that they only held<em> Charleston </em>and <em>Savannah</em>, both of which were under siege.

The last mobile army the British possessed was in action, essentially frightening the countryside and inflaming the already hostile local populace. Cooperation between the US and France had always ended in failure, but at<em> Yorktown,</em> the French more than made up for it by contributing two fleets and the majority of the troops.

The British had no mobile forces after <em>Yorktown</em>, and in fact, the garrisons in <em>Savannah</em> and <em>Charleston</em> were evacuated by ship to support New York. George Hanover wanted to continue the struggle and enlist more soldiers, but nobody else in government was that dim. It was obvious that the<em> best </em>course of action was to work out a separate peace with the US before defeating the <em>French, Spanish, and Dutch</em>. that they did.

Thank you,

Eddie
