Question 26 • United States History and Geography

As a result of the Gulf War,

Answer
A
Kuwaiti soldiers set Iraqi oil wells on fire.
B
Saddam Hussein fell from power.
C
President Bush’s popularity soared.
D
oil prices fell to an all-time low.

Explanation

The U.S.-led coalition drove Iraqi forces out of Kuwait, and President George H. W. Bush’s approval ratings rose sharply after the victory. Saddam Hussein remained in power, and Iraqi troops—not Kuwaiti soldiers—set many of Kuwait’s oil wells on fire as they retreated. Oil prices did not fall to an all-time low.
