The correct answer is B. Iraq invaded Kuwait as it was accused by Iraq of overproducing oil.

In 1988, Issam al-Chalabi, Iraq's Oil Minister, asked OPEC for a reduction in the daily production of barrels, with the intention that the consequent increase in the price of crude oil would stimulate the revenues of its shrinking public coffers. However, Kuwait's policy was just the opposite, favorable to a progressive increase in the daily production quota. With these motives, the government of Baghdad accused Kuwait that its oil policy was an aggression against Iraq.

At the same time, both countries were exploiting the huge oil field of Rumaila, one of the largest in the world, which is located in underground bags near the border between the two. Iraq accused Kuwait of using advanced techniques and stealing its oil, and demanded compensation. The Kuwaitis meanwhile claimed that it was just an excuse to justify an aggression.

How did the defeat of the Spanish Armada change the political balance of power among European countries
Olenka [21]
Probably the most basic answer is that with the mighty Spanish Armada out of commission, it opened the door for the exploration of the American continent by the French and the British. As these two nations built up colonies in the "new world" they became more and more wealthy. Britain, which hadn't nearly enough farmland to outfit an army, and a shortage of lumber that made naval expansion difficult, sought both of these things in the American continent. As they harvested lumber, they built bigger and better ships, which could haul more grain and outfit more firepower, which in turn helped them to secure even more of the continent. Thus, Great Britain and France gained power and wealth from their colonization of the American continent, and their scope of influence around the world grew. Spain, having lost their ability to wage open war on the seas against the two upstart powers, saw their influence in the colonies decline until they were forced to vacate most of the continent to focus on problems at home.

(added Thursday, Dec. 16)


That's not entirely accurate, Bertucci. Britain began its rise in the mid 1600's, as colonization of the New World began to pick up. This was a direct result of the defeat of the Spanish Armada, which allowed Britain to begin building up a Navy. Their power increased greatly under General-At-Sea Robert Blake, who was appointed by Oliver Cromwell. From that point on, Britain's greatest strength was her Navy. Were it not for the defeat of the Spanish Armada, none of this would have been possible. By the time the 1700's rolled around, Spain was nearly a non-factor in world exploration and conquest, leaving France and Britain as the two juggernauts. While the Peace of Utrecht happened nearly 130 years after the Spanish Armada sank, it was that event that paved the way for the massive balance shift in Europe and all over the globe.
