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.
The literal translation of utopia is 'a place that does not exist'. Narnia for example.

Answer:
Since the Civil Rights Movement, we have made strides to remove redlining, segregation laws, and other errors in diversity movements of the past. An example of a growth since the Civil Rights Movement would be the workplace discrimination act, stating that businesses may not turn down possible employees due to race, disability, age, gender, or ethnicity. However, in terms of race, we still have far to go. In criminal justice reform, in stereotyping, and in the display we have of diversity in media today are just a few places in which race reforms are needed. For example, there are very few kids shows which include a black character as the main character. This is harmful, as black children grow up seeing white people as the heroes and black people as the background characters, never the active participants in the protagonist story line. Education reforms in inner cities have been proven to greatly aid black success as lower income areas tend to attract teachers which are not as prepared as those in higher income, traditionally white neighborhoods thanks to the remnants of redlining in the Jim Crowe era. We have removed obvious race problems since the Civil Rights movement such as the poll tax, grandfather clause, and the literacy tests, but this is the tip of the iceberg in removing underlying systematic oppression which is not actively put in place today to harm those of non-Caucasian groups.

Answer:
The correct answer is B, <em>they struggled for control of the Middle East</em>.
Explanation:
The history of the relationship between the Ottomans and Safavids is mainly characterized by their conflicts for the control of different regions of the Middle East. All the other options don't correctly describe this history.
However, because both societies were Muslim according to Islam they couldn't war against each other unless it was for religious reasons.
Thus in the early 1500s Selim I, sultan of the Ottoman Empire consulted his scholars and decided that the Shah Ismail of the Safavids preached heresies against Islam. He then persecuted internal supporters of the Safavids which intensified the rivalry between the two empires.
The conflict between Ottomans and Safavids was fought also through trade embargoes in the 1500s. Ottomans imposed trade embargoes against the Safavids but they only worked until the early 1600s. In the 18th century, they would start to see themselves all parts of the same faith but still fearing each other.
