The U.S. invasion of Grenada on October 25, 1983, involved over 7,000 troops and aimed to counter communist influences amid rising tensions following the 1979 Grenada Revolution. The overthrow of Prime Minister Maurice Bishop by Deputy Prime Minister Bernard Coard led to instability, prompting U.S. intervention.
