Answer 1

Answer: 1, 3, 2, 4

Explanation:

On August 2, 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait and annexed it thereby controlling 20% of oil supplies at the time.

The US then deployed troops less than a week later to Saudi Arabia to protect their ally and then George Bush began to build up a coalition of countries to oppose Iraq.

On November 29, the UN issued an ultimatum to Iraq to withdraw by January 15 1991 or face the consequences.

On January 14, Congress assented to a bill allowing George Bush to defend the UN ultimatum if necessary.

With the deadline elapsed the US and Coalition forces began a bombing campaign on Iraq that lasted 42 days. They then went in and liberated Kuwait.

The American forces then began to withdraw.

That makes the correct order the following,

President Bush creates a coalition of world powers to oppose Iraq and then Congress approves the use of military force to protect Kuwait which led to Iraq is bombed and invaded for refusing to comply with UN resolutions and finally U.S. troops leave Kuwait quickly after Operation Desert Storm.
