Rationale:
The Middle East and its Oil reserves became a major political region through the 1980's and into the 1990's. Each Gulf country was jockeying to maximize its oil production. During this period Iran and Iraq went to war. The results of the war left Iraq in debt and its country depleted. Oil was the answer, and Iraq invaded Kuwait to expand its access to the Persian Gulf and the Oil fields of Kuwait, The US felt compelled to respond. Students need to understand the circumstances surrounding the first Gulf War and how 9-11 events led to the return to Iraq for a war that still effects the USA today
