Answer:

To support a rebellion against an elected government in Latin America.

Explanation:

This incident, known as the Iran Contra scandal, was based on Reagan's selling of arms to Nicaraguan contras. These contras were trying to overthrow a communist style of government in their country. Considering that this was during the Cold War, Reagan supported these contras as the US government did not want the system of communism to spread.
