Which of these was true of the Contras during the Nicaraguan civil war?

Answer
A
The Contras overthrew the Somoza government.
B
The Contras received support from the U.S. government.
C
The Contras overthrew the Sandinista government.
D
The Contras received support from the Soviet Union.

Explanation

The Contras were armed groups that opposed Nicaragua’s Sandinista government, which took power after overthrowing the Somoza regime. The U.S. government supported the Contras with funding and other aid. They did not overthrow either the Somoza or Sandinista government, and the Soviet Union supported the Sandinistas rather than the Contras.
