Final answer:
Operation Urgent Fury, or the Grenada invasion, was the operation that gave Americans a sense of military success after previous setbacks. The correct answer is option 1. and 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The operation that gave victory-hungry Americans something to cheer about after the military debacles of the previous two decades was Operation Urgent Fury, also known as the Grenada invasion. This 1983 U.S.-led invasion resulted in a quick victory and achieved its objectives of protecting U.S. citizens, preventing a potential civil war, and replacing a pro-Soviet regime with a pro-American one, with only eighteen U.S. troops lost in the conflict.
Despite international condemnation and a United Nations Security Council vote condemning the U.S. action, for many Americans, the success of this operation restored some confidence in their military after a period marked by complex and often unsuccessful military operations elsewhere.
