Answer 5

No direct answers please.

Answer 6

shhhhhhh king

Answer 7

Nope, that's breaking the rules.

Answer 8

I would say B. Reagan wanted to bring and end to the government in Nicaragua. Daniel Ortega was the elected official in charge of Nicaragua. The U.S. had violated international law by supporting the contras in their rebellion against the Nicaraguan government and by mining Nicaragua's harbors.

Answer 9

The rebels received financial and military support from the United States government.

Answer 10

Good job ^

Answer 11

It is definitely not A or D. I know I am going against exactly what the first person said, but all you have to do is look at the Reagan Admin's actions. His involvement had nothing to do with the economy in South America. :)

Answer 13

It's all good! This is a group discussion. :)
