Answer:

To support a rebellion against an elected government in latin america.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Reagan administration saw the Nicaraguan government as a threat because of their socialist/communists inclinations, and the Reagan administration made it very clear that the main enemy were the communists, so they funded right extremists rebells to counter attack the left elected government in Nicaragua.
