Answer:
The scandal of the second Reagan administration involving sales of arms to Iran in partial exchange for release of hostages in Lebanon and use of the arms money to aid the Contras in Nicaragua, which had been expressly forbidden by Congress was the Iran-Contra Affair.
Explanation:
The Iran-Contra scandal (also known as "Irangate") was based on the secret arms trade of President Ronald Reagan administration to Iran during the bloody war with his neighbor Saddam Hussein in Iraq between 1980 and 1988. Proceeds from the arms trade were channeled to the Contra guerrillas in Nicaragua. The stores were supposed to influence in two ways:
-Affects Iran, which had influence over Hezbollah, which held several US hostages in Lebanon.
-Support the anti-communist guerrilla war in Nicaragua.
The deals were made in contravention of congressional decisions banning the financing of Contra-guerrillas and the sale of weapons to Iran. In addition, both arms sales and support for guerrillas were at odds with UN sanctions.

Explanation:
This line is part of the “Military Maxims of Napoleon”, a collection of tenets on the art of war which are still an inspiration for military students. Through this line, he makes his war beliefs and tactics clear. We should also consider the meaning of civil war: it is a war which if fought between different groups of people (different in religion, political ideas, etc) of the same territory. Having this in mind we can mention for example The Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815). They consisted in a series of battles between France and other European powers, financed and usually led by the United Kingdom. Among these we can mention The Battle of Waterloo 1815, the Battle of Trafalgar 1805, etc.
I agree in the sense that inevitably whenever there is a war there are 2 groups of a different nature, sharing the territory but fighting for a reason. I also believe that the “civil war they make wherever they fight” does not necessarily imply military participation. Nowadays, we see many countries, mainly Latin American ones, in which the different economic and political conflicts (“wars”) produce a gap and a clash between different national or local groups (“civil war”).
