Answer 1

Answer:

A. Kuwait became an independent nation again.

Explanation:

The Gulf War was a warlike conflict waged by a coalition force authorized by the United Nations, composed of 34 countries and led by the United States, against the Republic of Iraq in response to the invasion and Iraqi annexation of the State of Kuwait. The beginning of the war began with the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on August 2, 1990. Iraq was immediately sanctioned economically by the United Nations. The hostilities began in January 1991, resulting in the victory of the coalition forces. The Iraqi troops left Kuwait leaving a very high number of human victims. The main battles were air and ground combats inside Iraq, Kuwait, and on the border between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. The war did not expand outside the Iraq-Kuwait-Arabia zone, although some Iraqi missiles arrived in Israeli cities. The causes of the war, and even the name of it, are still issues of controversy.
