Gulf war 1 / Iraq War 1 Sadam Hussein (Leader of Iraq) invades Kuwait in 1990 HW Bush dislikes this and clearly and quickly defeats the Iraqi army Rodney King he was beaten video but the jury didn’t care and so riots Taxes Famously said “Read my lips no new taxes” but then there were recessions due to the end of cold war and other stuff people lost jobs including white collar workers This made Bush raise taxes and looked like he was going against his value Probably why he lost the election
9/11 Done by al qaeda and its leader osama bin laden Al qaeda is an organization Taliban was the afghanistan gov that protected them So we invaded Afghanistan and installed a new and admittedly better government But bush wants more, so he uses the war on terror as an excuse to invade Iraq who I think we were mad at for other reasons look up more Bush makes up weapons of mass destruction and a link between sadam hussein and bin laden Therefore we must invade Iraq in 2003 This led to ISIS Also the links between 9/11 and hussein doesn’t exist so we invaded for no reason
