Why did the United States sponsor the contras in Nicaragua?

History
1 answer:
labwork [276]3 years ago
6 0
The United States sponsored the Contras because they were against the Sandinista government which was in place at the time in Nicaragua. The Sandinista government was a national reconstruction government, but it was a government that the United States viewed as communist. It came at the time where the United States was extremely weary of the Soviet Union and communist rule and a time when Reagan was president and his foreign policy was based very much on stopping opposing ideologies from gaining ground anywhere in the world.

Which statement best describes the state of real world in the United States immediately following the Civil War
Bumek [7]

It sure isn't D. One of the reasons the South had trouble during the civil war is that she didn't have enough rail lines. Horses did much of the work the rails did.

The rails existed in 1865. There were lots of them. Trouble was they were mostly in the North.

The large population centers were largely in the east. Shear numbers would make rails feasible. Answer

The West did oppose the rails to some extent, but industry (like cattle and mining) wanted more rails. Most of the time the opposition came for economic reasons.

Will Mark Brainliest. Describe what leveling was and how was it used during the Han Dynasty.
konstantin123 [22]

Explanation:

The Han dynasty was governed by a centralized monarchy headed by an emperor and supported by an elaborate structure of imperial administration. The Han government was divided into three branches: the civil service (public administration), the military (defense), and the censorate (auditor).

Life in the city was difficult for the poor who lived in crowded houses and often went without food. Life in countryside was better for the peasants. They had to work hard, but they generally had food and shelter. Taxes were reduced during the Han Dynasty and people who tilled the soil were often respected.
