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.

Why were railroads able to charge high prices for shipping and travel in the late 1800
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 is a United States federal law that was designed to regulate the railroad industry, particularly its monopolistic practices. The Act required that railroad rates be "reasonable and just," but did not empower the government to fix specific rates. It also required that railroads publicize shipping rates and prohibited short haul or long haul fare discrimination, a form of price discrimination against smaller markets, particularly farmers in Western or Southern Territory compared to the Official Eastern states. The Act created a federal regulatory agency, the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), which it charged with monitoring railroads to ensure that they complied with the new regulations.

With the passage of the Act, the railroad industry became the first industry subject to federal regulation by a regulatory body. It was later amended to regulate other modes of transportation and commerce.
