Operation Urgent Fury was a U.S.-led military intervention in Grenada that began on October 25, 1983. The operation aimed to overthrow the Marxist government of Maurice Bishop and restore stability to the island following a coup and civil unrest. The intervention involved a combination of airborne and amphibious assaults, and it was justified by the U.S. government on the grounds of protecting American citizens and restoring democratic governance. Ultimately, the operation resulted in the quick defeat of Grenadian forces and the establishment of a new government.
