Maurice Bishop, the Prime Minister of Grenada, was killed on October 19, 1983, after being overthrown by a faction within his own government. Following his arrest, Bishop and several of his supporters were executed by the military. This event intensified the political crisis in Grenada, prompting the United States to launch a military intervention on October 25, 1983, aimed at restoring order and protecting American citizens on the island. The intervention ultimately led to the establishment of a new government and the withdrawal of Cuban influence from Grenada.
