Operation Urgent Fury was the United States' military invasion of Grenada that began on October 25, 1983. The operation aimed to overthrow the Marxist government of Maurice Bishop and restore a democratic government, following concerns about the safety of American citizens on the island and the potential for increased Soviet influence in the Caribbean. The invasion was relatively quick, lasting only a few days, and resulted in the capture of key Grenadian leaders and the establishment of a new government. It marked a significant moment in U.S. foreign policy during the Cold War.
