Question 4 • United States History and Geography

Why did UN coalition troops battle Iraqi forces in 1991?

Answer

A

The United Nations wanted to remove Saddam Hussein from power.

B

Iraq had invaded Saudi Arabia, along with its other border nations.

C

Iraq had invaded Kuwait, which was a major source of the world’s oil.

D

The United Nations wanted to prevent the trade of illegal drugs.

Explanation

Iraq invaded Kuwait in August 1990, prompting a United Nations-backed coalition to fight Iraqi forces in the 1991 Gulf War. Kuwait was a major oil-producing country, and the coalition’s goal was to drive Iraqi forces out of Kuwait—not to remove Saddam Hussein or stop drug trafficking.
