*Reagan allocated funds to the contras and to the CIA for the purpose of destabilising the Sandinista regime.
*The Reagan government illegally transferred to the contras the proceeds of clandestine sales of military equipment supplied to Iran.*Journalists exposed what was going on and at first sight, it would seem that Reagan´s policies failed because the Sandinistas were not overthrown militarily but indirectly Reagan achieved his goal, to stop socialism spreading to the rest of Central America.
