“We stand today at a unique and extraordinary moment. . . . Out of these troubled times . . . a new world order—can emerge: A new era—freer from the threat of terror, stronger in the pursuit of justice and more secure in the quest for peace.” —President George H. W. Bush What event prompted President Bush to make these comments? PLEASE EXPLAIN

The invasion of Kuwait

Explanation:

The event that prompted this speech from President George H. W. Bush was the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq. This took place on August 2, 1990.

The occupation was sanctioned by the United States, and it eventually led to a military intervention by a coalition of forces led by the United States. This is known as the Gulf War. The actions of Iraq were motivated by competition regarding oil production. This was emphasized by the way in which Iraq set fire to 600 Kuwaiti oil wells as it retreated from the country.
