 <span>Saddam Hussein went to war with Iran because of his fear from the Shiites majority in Iraq. 

In 1979, the Iranian revolution succeeded. Saddam was afraid it would spread to Iraq, so he tried to destroy the new Iranian regime. He brought up the issue of the border & the water war (propaganda). But he wanted the Iranian oil fields in the near the border to tip the scale of power to his favor. However, he got trapped in a long war, which lasted for 8 years. 

For a similar reason, he decided to invade Kuwait. After the war with Iran, Iraq's economy was destroyed. Soldiers returned home & were shocked at the troubles they found. Saddam was afraid that the unhappy Iraqis who got used to war would unleash their fury on him. So, he decided to send them to Kuwait. Either they succeed to steal its wealth, or he gets rid of them in another war. This is why he kept the enlisted in the front lines, while the loyal Republican Guard was kept behind to bug away.</span>

What did confederacy support other than slavery? <br><br> NOW PLEASEE
dlinn [17]

Answer:

1. Individual states' rights

2. Low tariffs

3. Secession

Explanation:

1. The Confederacy felt that each state should have the right to create their own laws and regulations. They felt that the federal government was too strong and was acting unfairly towards the southern states.

2. The South produced many crops such as cotton, sugar, rice, and tobacco. Foreign trade was crucial to the southern economy, so they favored low tariffs to keep foriegn goods cheap and to foster trade with other countries.

3. The Confederacy felt that it had the right to secede, or leave, the United States to form their own nation. They felt that the northern states had treated them unfairly by their imposition of high tariffs and opposition to slavery, therefore, it was time to create their own country.
