Answer:

To help the Contras in Nicaragua

Explanation:

This event is part of Irangate as it was known by the media.

Oliver North's objective as a representative of some branches of the United States power (CIA) was to sell arms to Iran in order to finance the Nicaraguan Contras, which were right-wing paramilitary and anti-communist groups that aimed at fighting the FSNL (Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional) for power in Nicaragua, the FSNL was a communist guerrilla. The United States saw this as an intrusion into its adjacent geopolitical sphere from communism and in the context of the Cold War acted in a questionable way to avoid that event . The money generated by the sale of weapons was administered by Oliver North who provided these funds to the Contras.

what did colonial representatives meet in Philadelphia for the First Continental Congress? What was accomplished at this meeting
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The First Continental Congress, held from September to October 1774, was a congress of representatives from 12 of the 13 British Colonies. The reason for the convocation was the Intolerable Acts, aimed at stopping the growing resistance of the American colonies.

A Declaration of Rights and Grievances was issued, which contained a statement on the rights of the American colonies to "life, liberty and property," and also protested against the customs and tax policies of the metropolis. It was decided to declare a trade boycott of the metropolis. Beginning on December 1, 1774, both the purchase of English goods and the sale of American goods to the British were prohibited.
