Help me, please: During the 1990s, the United States became involved in a military dispute involving which nations? A. China and the Soviet Union B. France and Portugal C. Iraq and Kuwait D. South Africa and the Netherlands

OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):

I believe it is A, but I'm not entirely sure.

OpenStudy (isry98):

Think about this what two countries are next to each other?

OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):

China and Russia are near each other

OpenStudy (isry98):

yes what other countries... this will help narrow it down

OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):

But I think Kuwait and Iraq are close as well

OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):

The other two options' countries are thousands of miles away

OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):

I revise my earlier assumption: I believe the answer is C, Iraq and Kuwait

OpenStudy (isry98):

Yes it is... but do you know why?

OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):

Because of Communist influences in the region?

OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):

And we were trying to fight of Communism, which was fueled by China and the Soviet Union

OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):

Thank you for your help, @isry98 ! :D

OpenStudy (isry98):

No... Actually Saddam Hussain was trying to take over Kuwait but the US stopped him.

OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):

Ah... ok, thank you

OpenStudy (isry98):
