The correct answer is Nicaragua .

This plan to overthrow the Contras was part of Reagan's foreign policy. Ultimately, Reagan was fighting the spread of communism on a global scale, trying to get rid of this system of government/economics wherever possible. However, this incident is remembered in a negative light, as he broke laws in order to help the Contras.
