The correct option works because it matches the period context of Paper 1 Section B: Wider world depth studies and uses the same evidence base as Study the Gulf War 1990, including reasons for Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, reactions and roles of Bush and Thatcher, UN campaign against. The rejected options are weaker: 1) A broad opinion without context.; 2) A consequence described as a cause.; 3) An interpretation treated as factual evidence..

Avoid confusing Kuwait

A common mistake is to write about Kuwait as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in 1990-2009.
