How did saddam Hussein’s occupation of Kuwait become an international crisis?

History

Answer: The First Gulf War.

Explanation:

During the Iran-Iraq War, Kuwait financially assisted the Saddam Hussein regime with about $ 60 million. After the war ended, Iraq did not repay the debt. Iraq accused Kuwait of abusing standard oil fields and attacked Kuwait in August 1990. The Kuwaiti government fled to Saudi Arabia, and the Iraqi plundered this vibrant country. This invasion of Kuwait has provoked an international backlash. Saddam Hussein ignored UN warnings to withdraw from Kuwait.

Further sanctions implied the termination of all relations with Iraq, but the occupation continued. The UN then decided to respond by force. Coalition forces led by the US, Canada, Turkey and several other countries have attacked the Iraqi army. After the bombing, a ground offensive was launched. In a relatively short period, Iraqi forces were expelled from Kuwait, and retreating Iraqis destroyed about 700 oil sources. In the Gulf War, allied forces lost some 400 soldiers, while Iraqi casualties numbered about 20,000.

Show understanding of the following terms by using them in a sentence about the election of 1824.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

The presidential election of 1824 represents a watershed in American politics. The collapse of the Federalist Party and the illness of the "official candidate" of the Democratic-Republicans led to a slate of candidates who were all Democratic-Republicans. This led to the end of the Congressional Caucus system for nominating candidates, and eventually, the development of a new two-party system in the United States. In the election, Andrew Jackson won a plurality of both the popular and electoral vote. But John Quincy Adams became president. Four crucial elements of our election system were highlighted in the election of 1824: the nomination of candidates, the popular election of electors, the Electoral College, and the election of the president in the House when no candidate receives a majority in the Electoral College.
