Unlike the Portuguese, who had rounded Africa and were sailing east toward Asia, Christopher Columbus decided to sail WEST. His decision was based on his estimates of the EARTH'S circumference and the sizes of ASIA and EUROPE. Unfortunately, Columbus UNDERESTIMATED the former and OVERESTIMATED the latter. Although this resulted in a much longer voyage than he anticipated, his estimates probably helped convince FERDINAND and ISABELLA, the two Spanish monarchs who sponsored his voyage.

n200080 [17]
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.
