In August 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait, rapidly occupying and subsequently annexing it. The United Nations mandated the liberation of Kuwait by force. Name the US President who hailed it as the emergence of a New Order?

George H.W. Bush

The correct answer is option 1 - George H.W. Bush

In August 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait, rapidly occupying and subsequently annexing it. After a series of diplomatic attempts failed at convincing Iraq to quit its aggression, the United Nations mandated the liberation of Kuwait by force. For the UN, this was a dramatic decision after years of deadlock during the Cold War. US President George H.W. Bush hailed the emergence of a ‘new world order’.
