The Mormon Church, also known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was founded by Joseph Smith in 1830. Joseph Smith had prophetic visions that inspired led him to build a better society. Many of his beliefs angered a large number of people, such as the idea of communal or shared property and polygamy (the idea that a man can have multiple wives). Initially, Smith had formed a community in New York, but due to disapproval of the Mormon religion, the group was forced to move westward. The Mormons settled in Ohio, then onto Missouri and eventually Illinois. In Illinois, Joseph Smith was murdered by an angry mob and his leadership in the Mormon Church was taken over by Brigham Young in 1844.
After Smith's death, Brigham Young decided that the Mormons should move west to avoid further persecution and form the ideal community that Smith envisioned. In the 1830s and 1840s, America was expanding westward into Oregon Territory and Texas. Utah, however, was still largely unsettled because the terrain was considered harsh and unsuitable for farming. Young led the Mormons to settle around the Great Salt Lake in 1846. This migration was the single largest movement of people in American history. The Mormons made the area flourish with hard work and resilience, by building towns, irrigation systems, industries, and educational institutions.

The Iran–Contra Scandal (Persian: ماجرای ایران-کنترا, Spanish: caso Irán-Contra), also referred to as Irangate,[1] Contragate[2] or the Iran–Contra affair, was a political scandal in the United States that occurred during the second term of the Reagan Administration. Senior administration officials secretly facilitated the sale of arms to Iran, which was the subject of an arms embargo.[3] The administration hoped to use the proceeds of the arms sale to fund the Contras in Nicaragua. Under the Boland Amendment, further funding of the Contras by the government had been prohibited by Congress.
The official justification for the arms shipments was that they were part of an operation to free seven American hostages being held in Lebanon by Hezbollah, a paramilitary group with Iranian ties connected to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The plan was for Israel to ship weapons to Iran, for the United States to resupply Israel, and for Israel to pay the United States. The Iranian recipients promised to do everything in their power to achieve the release of the hostages.[4][5] However, as documented by a congressional investigation, the first Reagan-sponsored secret arms sales to Iran began in 1981 before any of the American hostages had been taken in Lebanon. This fact ruled out the "arms for hostages" explanation by which the Reagan administration sought to excuse its behavior.[6]
