Why did U.S. participation in the Iran-Contra Affair become a scandal?

History
1 answer:
erica [24]3 years ago

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Soon after taking control of Congress, the Democrats passed the Boland Amendment, which restricted the activities of the CIA and the Department of Defense in foreign conflicts.

The Amendment was specifically aimed at Nicaragua, where anti-communist Contras were battling the communist Sandinista government.

Reagan had described the Contras as "the moral equivalent of the Founding Fathers." But much of their funding, to that point, had come via Nicaragua's cocaine trade, hence Congress' decision to pass the Boland Agreement.

Still, the president instructed his National Security Advisor, Robert McFarlane, to find a way to assist the drug-dealing Contras, regardless of the cost-political or otherwise.

What was the political impact of the Justinian Code?
disa [49]

Answer:

Justiniano nació en una pequeña aldea Dacia llamada Tauresio junto a las ruinas de Sárdica (la moderna Sofía en Bulgaría),9​10​ alrededor del año 482.11​ Su familia, de origen humilde y de lengua latina, se cree que pudo ser de orígenes tracios o ilíricos.12​13​14​

El cognomen iustinianus (Justiniano) lo tomó tras ser adoptado por su tío Justino.15​ Durante su reinado fundó Justiniana Prima una ciudad cercana a su lugar de nacimiento y que actualmente se encuentra en el sudeste de Serbia.16​17​18​

Su madre, Vigilantia, era la hermana de Justino. Justino formó parte de la guardia imperial (los Excubitores) antes de ser nombrado emperador en el año 518,19​ adoptó a Justiniano y lo llevó con él a Constantinopla, asegurando que recibiese una buena educación.19​ Justiniano siguió así el currículo educativo habitual, centrándose en la jurisprudencia, teología e historia.19​ Justiniano sirvió durante algún tiempo con los Excubitores, pero los detalles de esta época temprana se desconocen.19​ El cronista Juan Malalas, contemporáneo de Justiniano, describe su apariencia indicando que era de baja estatura, de pelo rizado, cara redondeada y atractivo. Otro cronista contemporáneo, Procopio, compara su apariencia con la del emperador tiránico Domiciano, aunque en este caso es probable que se trate de una calumnia.20​

Avanzó en su carrera militar con gran rapidez, y se abría ante él un gran futuro cuando en 518 el emperador Anastasio I falleció. Justino fue proclamado nuevo emperador, con una significativa ayuda de Justiniano.19​ Durante el reinado de Justino (518-527), Justiniano fue el confidente más cercano al emperador. Justiniano mostró mucha ambición, y se cree que funcionó como virtual regente mucho antes de que Justino lo nombrara coemperador el 1 de abril de 527,21​ aunque no existen evidencias que constaten a ciencia cierta esta opinión.22​ Cuando Justino comenzó a mostrar síntomas de senilidad a finales de su reinado, Justiniano se convirtió en el gobernante de facto.19​ Justiniano fue nombrado cónsul en 521, y más tarde comandante en jefe del ejército de oriente.19​23​ A la muerte de Justino I, el 1 de agosto de 527, Justiniano se convertiría en el único soberano del imperio.19​
