content: A homemade poster protesting US aid to the Contras in Nicaragua. The United States government supported the Contras, right wing groups that opposed the Socialist Sandinista Junta of National Reconstruction Government. The Sandinistas were viewed as an economic and security threat to the United States. The contras downplayed various human rights violations and use of terrorist tactics especially during the Reagan Administration. Congress banned further support of the Contras, but the Reagan administration continued aid through what is now known as the Iran-Contra Affair.
