Hıstory Of Internatıonal Relatıons Deneme Sınavı Sorusu #1390244

Which of the following statement is NOT correct about the First Gulf War?


This was the first war during which smart bombs had ever been used.

The war forced Saddam Hussein to accept UN-imposed sanctions.

The war removed Saddam Hussein as a threat to US interests in the Middle East forever. 

The success of the international coalition triggered false hopes about the role of institutions and major powers to act collectively against a common threat.

The war coincided with the development of cable news networks whose 24-hour coverage of the war led to the emergence of the CNN Effect.


Yanıt Açıklaması:

Although the war liberated Kuwait and forced Saddam Hussein to accept UN-imposed sanctions and allow inspectors to check for weapons of mass destruction, it did not remove him as a threat to US interests in the Middle East. Along with Iran, Iraq became part of the US “dual containment strategy.” Though the First Gulf War was over within weeks, America’s account with Saddam Hussein would only be settled by its invasion of Iraq in 2003. 

Therefore, the information given in Option C is wrong.
