Question 1 • 11011de2 CONNECTED Fall 2026 NM-US History and Geography S2

Why did problems continue to linger after the Persian Gulf War ended?

Answer
A
Many Arabs were upset about the American presence in the region.
B
Chaos broke out after Saddam Hussein was toppled from power.
C
Kuwait began amassing weapons of mass destruction.
D
Some Arabs were angry that Iraq went unpunished for its actions.

Explanation

The Persian Gulf War ended with Iraq’s forces driven out of Kuwait, but U.S. troops remained in the region afterward. Many Arabs objected to the continued American military presence, so tensions did not disappear when the fighting ended. Saddam Hussein was not toppled from power in that war, making choice B incorrect.
