Do Now #37Objectives:1. I will be able to find the locations of important countries, cities, and bodies of water on a map of the Middle East.2. I will be able to explain why the United States and Iraq fought in the Persian Gulf War.

Essential Question: “When should you make some else’s business your business?”

Are you MAKING THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE?

Earn your class the points they deserve!Dear 2011,

This week is huge. In an ordinary school, history classes slow down in the week before vacation.

We, however, will speed up. We have ONE WEEK to do an entire mini-unit on what is one of the most

important things we’ll study all year: the current WAR IN IRAQ.

For this unit to make sense, we need to master some basic geography. So we will begin today in

STATIONS around the room. Anytime you finish your work at a station, you will use your student map

to study. (Your supply sergeant should have brought you this already.) However, because we have so

much to tackle, we will only spend the first half of class in stations. We will spend the second half diving

into some important background information with our partners and creating some smart illustrations to

show how much we’ve learned already.

Remember, make sure you are making up missed objectives at lunch or during study hall! We

start our DBQ when we get back from break!

2011 … start your engines!

Classwork 36:The (First) Persian Gulf War

The Middle East’s Wealth:Large parts of the Middle East are covered by deserts. Hot, dry, and barren, it is not exactly

the best place to grow crops and create farms. However, the Middle East is rich in one extremely valuable natural resource: oil. Over the course of the last century, the US has come to need more and more oil to make fuel (for its cars, trucks, factories, airplanes, etc…). The US has thus come to depend heavily on certain Middle Eastern countries for its oil. Today, we get most of our Middle Eastern oil from countries like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

Saddam Hussein and Iraq:For most of the 1980s and 1990s, Iraq’s government was a military dictatorship.

The name of the dictator was Saddam Hussein. He was a brutal, cruel leader who at times attacked his own people. He frequently used martial law in Iraq, and under his leadership Iraq fought a long and bitter war against its neighbor, Iran. (You should know at this point exactly where those two countries are). Iraq has much oil of its own, but Saddam Hussein was always in search of ways to increase his country’s wealth.

Kuwait and the (First) Persian Gulf War: In 1990 Saddam Hussein invaded the small country of Kuwait. Kuwait was (and still is today) a major supplier of oil to the United States. Immediately, the United States and many other nations from around the world came together and defeated Iraq’s armies. President Bush’s father (President Bush, Sr.) was then president of the United States. He drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait. The United States kept troops in Saudi Arabia and in Kuwait after the war was over to make sure the Iraqi forces remained on their side of the border.

The Conditions of Iraq’s Surrender and What Happened Next:During the war Saddam Hussein threatened to use chemical weapons

against his enemies. Chemical weapons use poisonous gasses and diseases as killing agents (rather than bullets and explosions). Saddam Hussein was also at the time trying to develop nuclear weapons. A nuclear weapons uses not only explosions but radiation as killing agents. Radiation causes cancer and birth-defects in those who are exposed to it. When Saddam Hussein surrendered to American forces in 1991, he agreed in a treaty to stop building chemical and nuclear weapons. People often call chemical and nuclear weapons “weapons of mass destruction” or WMD’s.

In the years that followed, however, Saddam Hussein refused to let foreigners into his country to make sure that he wasn’t building these weapons. Countries grew very frustrated with Saddam Hussein, and many imposed sanctions against him in the hopes that he would let foreigners check to make sure he wasn’t producing any WMD’s. This situation continued through the rest of the 1990s (when Clinton was president).
