Answer:

The United States sponsored the Contras in Nicaragua because they hoped they would prevent Communism from spreading across Central America.

Explanation:

After the entry of the Sandinistas in Managua and the flight of Somoza, a new government was established, formed by a broad ideological spectrum with a social democratic, socialist, and Marxist-Leninist presence and a very great influence of liberation theology.

The counterrevolutionary groups were fed by the discontented with the revolutionary reforms. All this counterrevolutionary conglomerate was called Contras.

Since the Reagan administration came to power, support for the Contras was generalized and increased as part of Reagan's policy against Communism, while blocking and putting pressure on the Nicaraguan government, preventing the help of other countries and various international organizations and institutions. It is estimated that between 1982 and 1990, the United States spent more than $ 300 million in support for the Contra.

What you basically need to know is that the contras were right-wing and that they opposed the left-wing government.

The left-wing governments were generally not seen as desired during the cold war because they could strengthen the communists, which were competing with the US.

So the US hoped that the contras would weaken or even replace the left-wing government.

____________________________________________________

Definition:

Isolationism:

I policy in which a country tries to stay away from another countries politics, mostly avoiding international political and economic relations.

____________________________________________________

Some countries that used Isolationism:

-The United States of America

-China (Ming Dynasty)

____________________________________________________

Explanation:

The reason why this would be your answer is because the word "Isolationism" best fits the description of what was said in the question. There were many countries that practiced Isolationism, like  the United States, China, and etc. The way the United States practiced Isolationism was by trying to avoid political relations before World War I, but stopped after World War II. But, because of all the World Wars and problems in other international countries, it made it hard for the United States to practice Isolationism, so the United States stopped practicing Isolationism and started to care about other international and economical problems. Since they stopped practicing Isolationism, they started helping other countries by supporting the economy, for example, the Marshall plan helped Western Europe's economy get back in shape. Another country that practiced Isolationism was China. During the Ming Dynasty, China tried to avoid a lot of other international political and economic relations, but it became so hard  to do that to the point where they just gave up and started to listen to other politics around them.
