Answer 1

August 1990

Explanation:

Iraq invaded Kuwait in August 1990, quickly occupying and annexing it. After a series of diplomatic efforts failed to persuade Iraq to stop its aggression, the United Nations-mandated the military liberation of Kuwait. This was a dramatic decision for the UN after years of deadlock during the Cold War. President George H.W. Bush of the United States hailed the emergence of a "new world order."
