Answer:

The Iran-Contra affair was one of the biggest political scandals of American politics in the 1980s. It erupted in November 1986 when it came to light that then-President Ronald Reagan and several leading members of his administration were involved in the clandestine sale of arms to Iran, which was then subject to an arms embargo. Their plan was to improve relations with Iran, which was to lead to the release of six American hostages held by the Lebanese group Hezbollah. The plan soon turned into a hostage trade, and part of the proceeds were to be diverted to fund the Contras group, an anti-communist guerrilla in Nicaragua. Although Reagan was a supporter of the Contra, due to the mystery that still surrounds the case, there is currently no solid evidence that he approved the funding.

Reagan admitted in a televised address that the sale of weapons had taken place, denying the hostage trade. Several commissions of inquiry were set up, but found no direct connection, as Reagan's aides destroyed or concealed a large number of documents.

why do you think the Catholic Church was so committed to defending the literal meaning of the Bible passages
Novosadov [1.4K]
The main reason why the Catholic Church was committed to defending the literal meaning of the Bible passages is because they feared that people would stray from the church if they started to develop their own, different interpretations of the Bible.

Explain what bipartisanship is and note some benefits of this approach.
notka56 [123]
Bipartisanship occurs when officials from the two major parties work together to solve a problem, often in the interest of the people of the country. In a partisan institution such as Congress, progress necessarily requires the ability to compromise and work with representatives from the other party. The Bipartisanship Policy Center cites the Great Compromise at the Constitutional Convention, Lincoln’s “Team of Rivals,” and the 2002 McCain-Feingold Act as examples of bipartisanship at work.

Vinvika [58]

Answer: The comparison of Nicholas II and Vladimir Lenin

Explanation Both the leaders were hungry for power and came onto to become leaders by promising good for the people but the similarity didn't catch one's eye but how different to each historical figure was has been highlighted many a time.

  • Nicholas II was czar and hence being born into a royal family made him an obvious leader whereas Lenin gained prominence in the party and came into power thus.
  • Lenin had the willingness to lead Russia used the Bolshevik party to do so, however the Tsar was happy to be with his family and pets and not a bit interested in leadership.
  • Nicholas II and his entire family were assassinated whereas Lenin died of natural causes way later.
  • Lenin was the more brutal of the two and used his power to get what he wanted even if it meant  torturing or murdering. here Nicholas made some concessions.
  • The military responsibility was on Nicholas II during his regime but when Lenin took over he would delegate it.

Finally, none of them actually cared for the poor, the oppressed were further in distress when these two came to power.
