I believe the answer is: The world depended on Kuwait for oil.
At that time, Kuwait exported more than $ 100 Billion worth of oil to countries all over the world. The Coalition believe that If Iraq managed to get their hand of Kuwait's resource, the rest of the world would be in oil shortage. So they decided to intervene.
50 old destroyers is the answer i believe.
I'm pretty sure it was the Spanish conquering South America, and exploiting its resources. Hope this helps.
Answer: Henry Clay and Daniel Webster
Explanation:
Henry Clay was one of the most influential Senators of his time along with Daniel Webster. They dominated politics for the time they were in Congress till they died so much so that along with John Calhoun they were known as <em>The Great Triumvirate</em>.
Henry Clay was known for his ability to compromise on states rights and federalist and sectional issues as he believed that was the only way to save the Union in a time when the Free states and the Slave states were constantly in disagreement. David Webster supported him in these for the same reason (keeping the Union united).
Some instances of Henry Clay's statesmanship include, the <em>Missouri Compromise</em> and the <em>Compromise Tariff</em> that kept the peace.
