Description

The Invasion of Grenada, codenamed Operation Urgent Fury, used to be a 1983 United States-led invasion of Grenada, a Caribbean island nation with a population of about 91,000 positioned 100 miles (160 km) north of Venezuela, that led to a U.S. victory inside an issue of weeks. Triggered by a bloody military coup which had ousted a four-year revolutionary government, the invasion led to a restoration of constitutional government. It used to be controversial because of charges of American imperialism, Cold War politics, the involvement of Cuba, the unstable state of the Grenadian government, the illegality under international law and Grenada’s status as a Commonwealth realm. Media outdoor the U.S. covered the invasion in a negative outlook regardless of the OAS request for intervention (on the request of the U.S. government), Soviet and Cuban presence on the island and the holding of American medical students on the True Blue Medical Facility.
