The Invasion of Grenada, codenamed Operation Urgent Fury, was a 1983 U.S. -led invasion of Grenada , a Caribbean island nation with a population of just over 100,000 located 100 miles (160 km) north of Venezuela . It was triggered by a military coup which ousted a brief revolutionary government. The successful invasion led to a change of government but was controversial due to charges of American imperialism , Cold War politics, the involvement of Cuba , the unstable state of the Grenadian government, and Grenada's status as a Commonwealth realm with Elizabeth II as the monarch. The invasion, which commenced at 05:00 on October 25, 1983, was the first major operation conducted by the U.S. military since the Vietnam War. NOTE : I will combine shipping cost.
