So during the 20’s people started to have more and more freedoms and many of the laws the Government had in place to suppress the people were starting to be repealed.

Contagions start in one place and then spread because disease does not bend to the wishes of those it affects, and can not be avoided by isolation or neutrality because disease has a way of traveling that can not truly be avoided. Was, also must be dealt with as soon as it begins because a small uprising is easier to squash than a huge military power that had already spread to many places.

The Contra rebel group were not a homogenous one-sided group of people, instead they were a cumulation of three distinct elements of Nicaraguan society: a group of republican former guard members from the old Somoza regime, individuals who were anti-Somozistas who felt deluded and betrayed by their government, and the third group were Nicaraguans that opposed the Sandinistas even though they were not considered to be directly involved in the revolution.

Introduction The Hmong people have a long history of searching for a homeland. They are among the oldest societies in Asia, yet very few know about them. As they have an oral culture, it is hard to determine certain aspects of their history, like their origin.
