The United States sent military forces into Grenada in October 1983 primarily to protect American citizens and restore order following a coup that had resulted in a Marxist government taking power. The invasion, known as Operation Urgent Fury, aimed to safeguard the lives of approximately 1,000 U.S. medical students on the island and to prevent the establishment of a Soviet-aligned regime in the Caribbean. The U.S. intervention was also justified by concerns over regional stability and the potential for increased Soviet influence in the Western Hemisphere.
