In 1986, Congress improved economic sanctions again south Africa to force an end to apartheid. Sanction are measures aimed at making a country change its policy. American companies where forbidden to invest in south Africa or import south African products.
To answer this question, we need to analyze the options and think about the countries where the United States has actively used diplomats to broker peace agreements.
Option A: Israel and Northern Ireland. The United States has indeed been involved in diplomatic efforts to facilitate peace agreements in both Israel and Northern Ireland. In the case of Israel, the U.S. has played a significant role in mediating negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. In Northern Ireland, the U.S. participated in negotiations that led to the Good Friday Agreement in 1998, which helped bring an end to the conflict.
Option B: Nicaragua and Somalia. While the United States has had some involvement in both Nicaragua and Somalia, the use of diplomats specifically for brokering peace agreements is not as prominent as in the cases mentioned above. Therefore, option B is unlikely to be the correct answer.
Option C: South Africa and India. The United States has had diplomatic relations with both South Africa and India, but the use of diplomats to broker peace agreements is not widely recognized in these cases. South Africa went through a significant political transformation with the end of apartheid, where diplomatic efforts from various countries were involved, including the United States. However, it was not a peace agreement brokered by diplomacy alone. India has also seen diplomatic relations with the United States, but it does not fit the criteria of diplomatic efforts for peace agreements. Therefore, option C is unlikely to be the correct answer.
Option D: North Korea and Poland. The United States has had diplomatic relations with both North Korea and Poland, but in the case of Poland, it has not been involved in peace negotiations. However, when considering North Korea, the United States has been engaged in ongoing diplomatic efforts to address its nuclear program and regional stability. Diplomats have played a significant role in negotiations between the United States and North Korea over the years. Therefore, option D could potentially be the correct answer.
Conclusion: Based on the analysis, the most likely correct answer is option D: North Korea, Poland. The United States has used diplomats to broker peace agreements with Northern Ireland and Israel, but not with Nicaragua, Somalia, South Africa, India, or Poland.
