The biggest difference between the Watergate Scandal and the Iran-Contra Affair is that the Watergate scandal was an internal politics problem, while the Iran-Contra Affair was a foreign politics problem.  Both scandals were exposed by the media.

In the Watergate scandal, president Nixon was directly  involved and exposed by the media as head of a group perpetrating illegal activities while it was never proved that President Reagan was directly related with the illegal aid to Contras and Iranian terrorist groups. So President Nixon was directly involved in the scandal.  

The Watergate scandal was worse in my opinion because it is more famous and it was the only presidential impeachment in U.S. history, and that undermined the public image of american democracy.

What is freedom according to the manifesto of the Communist Party
Arte-miy333 [17]
The Communist Manifesto largely discusses and criticizes the notions of individual freedom and freedom to pursue the rights of property in a capitalist system. The Communist Manifesto criticizes these conceptions of freedom and in fact argues that capitalist notions of freedom are actually oppressive and not real freedoms. Therefore, the Manifesto seeks to construct a new idea of freedom and an economic system that is not related to the capitalists notions of freedom.

what two lessons did terrorist throughout the world learn from the attack on the Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics
Irina18 [472]

Munich massacre, Palestinian terrorist attack on Israeli Olympic team members at the 1972 Summer Games in Munich.

The Munich Games marked the first return of the Olympics to a German city since the 1936 Games in Berlin. Adolf Hitler’s use of those Games as a platform for the propagation of Nazi ideology was roundly criticized, as was the blatant racism and anti-Semitism that characterized the Games. The West German invitation had been extended, in part at least, to offer the world a contrast to the horrifying spectacle of Berlin.
