The Clinton Administration

Question 1 • U.S. History 2026 - 3311 B

How did President Clinton react when military leaders in Haiti overthrew President Aristide?

Answer
A
He threatened to invade if Aristide was not returned to power.
B
He offered to extend American citizenship to Aristide.
C
He immediately shipped American troops to Haiti.
D
He immediately withdrew American troops from Haiti.

Explanation

After Haiti’s military leaders overthrew President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 1991, President Clinton pressured them to restore him to power and threatened military action if they refused. The correct choice is “He threatened to invade if Aristide was not returned to power.” Clinton later sent U.S. forces to Haiti in 1994 as part of an operation to restore Aristide, so the choice saying he immediately shipped troops is not accurate.
