Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'contras'

The Contras were U.S.-backed right-wing rebel groups that fought against Nicaragua's Sandinista government during the 1980s. These counter-revolutionary forces became central to the Reagan administration's Cold War policy in Central America, gaining international notoriety through the Iran-Contra scandal when their covert funding by the U.S. was revealed. In alternate history scenarios, different outcomes of the Contra war often reshape Central American politics and U.S. foreign policy trajectories.
