D. Begann a guerrilla war against the FSLN government

Answer 1

Answer: C and D

Explanation:The Contras (counter-revolutionaries) received financial and military aid from the U.S.A. and began a guerrilla war against the FSLN government. They did not sign a peace treaty to end the Civil War, nor did they receive financial and military aid from the U.S.S.R.

The Contras were a group of anti-Sandinista rebels who were funded and trained by the United States government. They launched a guerrilla war against the Sandinista government in 1981, and the war lasted until 1990. The Contras were eventually defeated by the Sandinistas, but the war had a devastating impact on Nicaragua.
