Answer:
The Iran-Contra Affair was a secret U.S. arms deal that traded missiles and other arms to free some Americans held hostage by terrorists in Lebanon but also used funds from the arms deal to support armed conflict in Nicaragua. The controversial deal—and the ensuing political scandal—threatened to bring down the presidency of Ronald Reagan to the point where impeachment was considered. It caused massive distrust in the government and its agencies
Explanation:
Well, once the Americas were discovered and the colonist found that the soil was agreeable to grow different crops such as tobacco and cotton the colonists realized that they needed people to pick the crops. Originally indentured servants did the hard labor but then when they found that they could get labor by trading goods with African tribal leaders they resorted to importing Africans to the Americas as labor. The tribes in Africa were constantly fighting and whichever side won the losers became the slaves of the winning tribe. However, as Europeans brought valuable things to the continent of Africa such as weapons, salt, gold, and other things the leaders of the winning tribe would give their slaves to the Europeans. There were cases when Blacks captured other Blacks in Africa for the sole purpose of giving them to the European traders. Hopefully this helps. If you haven't see the movie La Amistad, it will explain in more detail what I have written. I learned a lot from that movie. I must warn you the first 5 to 10 minutes are a bit gory. I had a hard time watching that part.

Answer:
I disagree, Imperialism was not a necessary evil.
Explanation:
Imperialism was not a necessary evil but rather a pure evil that should have been averted. This is because it only benefits the country that is extending its power over another country.
Often the livelihoods of the colonized countries are affected negatively. Imperialism has been identified to be the major cause of the slave trade and racial discrimination. It is also the main reason many communities or countries have lost their cultures and huge resources.
