Answer
A
Iraq attacked Kuwait.
B
The Berlin Wall came down.
C
Panama sent drugs to the US.
D
Saddam Hussein came to power in Iraq.

Explanation

In August 1990, Iraq invaded and occupied neighboring Kuwait. The United States and the United Nations then helped form an international coalition to oppose Iraq’s aggression and drive Iraqi forces out of Kuwait. The Berlin Wall’s fall and Saddam Hussein’s earlier rise to power were not the events that prompted this coalition.
