I'm in the process of writing a term paper for a history course I'm taking. I'm trying to address issues arising during Nicaraguan history from 1979-1990ish.

Things seem to be developing pretty one sided. I'm coming across almost entirely biased, which I would like to avoid. For example, in a rough summary:

Sandinista revolutionaries had entierly altruistic intentions and Nicaragua had potential to become a true Marxist success story untill they were met with the Contras, a product Reagan's overpowering and heavy handed Cold war foriegn policy.

I'm somewhat struggling to put together a coherent thesis and to narrow down the issues. I could use some direction as to what you all think are the most relavent topics. A discussion/debate would help me better understand and identify what I want to focus upon. I'm sure someone out there has opinions.
