During the Cold War Communism seems a viable option for Nicaragua and the so called Sandinistas get to power. The CIA and later US-President Ronald Reagan don't take kindly to Communism in their backyard. So, they supply anti communist militias called the Contras with weapons. The money for those weapons comes from deals with Iran - and Cocaine. Today these dubious proceedings are known as the Iran-Contra-Affair. Learn all about the Proxy war in Nicaragua from Indy in this episode. » ALL VIDEOS on the Cold War » The Cold War Turns Hot » JOIN OUR COMMUNITY FOR MORE HISTORY KNOWLEDGE!
