    United States invasion of Grenada

    1983 conflict in Grenada involving US and Cuban led forces

    The United States and a coalition of Caribbean countries invaded the small island nation of Grenada, 100 miles north of Venezuela, at dawn on 25 October 1983. Codenamed Operation Urgent Fury by the U.S. military, it resulted in military occupation within a few days. It was triggered by strife within the People's Revolutionary Government, which led to the house arrest and execution of the previous leader and second Prime Minister of Grenada, Maurice Bishop, and to the establishment of the Revolutionary Military Council, with Hudson Austin as chairman. Following the invasion there was an interim government appointed, and then general elections held in December 1984. Wikipedia
