Persian Gulf War

Hi guys,





Today we covered a lot of material on the Persian Gulf War. Many of you were still in diapers when Operation Desert Storm began. I wanted to be sure that many of you took the time to read up on this incident.

Mr. Quartararo

Read the summary of the Persian Gulf War, found on www.wikipedia.org.

"The Gulf War or the Persian Gulf War (16 January 1991–28 February 1991)[1][2] was a conflict between Iraq and a coalition force of approximately 30 nations[3] led by the United Nations (UN) and authorized by the United Nations (UN) in order to liberate Kuwait. The war developed out of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on August 2, 1990. The aggression was met with immediate economic sanctions by the UN against Iraq. The international armed intervention began in January 1991, resulting in a decisive victory for the coalition forces, which drove Iraqi forces out of Kuwait with minimal coalition deaths. Aerial and ground combat was confined to Iraq, Kuwait, and bordering areas of Saudi Arabia. Iraq also launched missiles against targets in Saudi Arabia and Israel"

Ronald Reagan

Hello all!

Simi Valley is the home to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, I am sure many of you have visited. This week we will be focusing our studies on his presidency.

You are very fortunate to live in close proximity to a museum like the Reagan. Ronald Reagan has a fascinating story, he was a former actor, governor and president of the Screen Actors Guild.

Read about his story, a summary of his story can be found below at www.wikipedia.org

"Ronald Wilson Reagan (February 6, 1911 – June 5, 2004) was the 40th President of the United States (1981 – 1989) and the 33rd Governor of California (1967 – 1975). Born and raised in Illinois, Reagan moved to California in the 1930s, where he became a Hollywood actor, President of the Screen Actors Guild, a spokesman for General Electric, and later met his second wife, Nancy. Previously a New Deal Democrat, Reagan became a Republican in 1962. During his work for General Electric Theatre, he began to articulate the political themes that would carry him into the California Governorship, which he won in 1966. He later made two presidential bids: the first, unsuccessful, in 1976, and the second, which he won, in 1980"

When you get a chance, read-up on the 40th president of the United States.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Reagan
