The Abstract
How did Reagans Contras provide that the Reagan Administration was more Concerned for the Spread of Communism than Human Lives themselves?
Reagan’s Administration used a highly qualified military group in the goal to stop communism in Nicaragua, even if this meant sacrificing human lives in the process. This is often looked over by historians, as mainly more are focused on the Iran-contra Affair itself instead of what happened in Nicaragua itself.
This work does not just look at what the contra did in Nicaragua, but also looks at how deep Reagan was in depth into creating the contra right after winning the primaries in the presidential election. With both primary and secondary sources that show a comprehensive idea of what happened with the Reagan administration in Nicaragua. Using political science and history journals to create an argument that both provides the understanding of how scared of communism and the lack of life for human lives.
