Cause and Effect Review
Directions: Identify a cause and two effects of the Persian Gulf War between the United States
and Iraq. Circle the cause and underline the effects.
In the early 1990s there was a conflict that arose between the leader of Iraq and the
United States of America. The Persian Gulf War, also called “Operation Desert Storm,” was a
war fought primarily between America and the leader of Iraq at the time, Saddam Hussein. In
the early nineties, Saddam Hussein rolled his tanks over the border of a small country called
Kuwait located southwest of the country of Iraq. Saddam wanted to control Kuwait for its vast
oil resources. Thus, the Persian Gulf War started. The United States bombarded Iraq with
troops and air strikes. Eventually, the conflict ended, and Saddam Hussein and his troops were
pushed back into Iraq.
After the Gulf War, distrust of Saddam Hussein was even worse than it had been before.
The conflict would lead to the takeover of Iraq by the United States and the Coalition Force
(Australia and the United Kingdom), taking Saddam Hussein out of power and eventually
establishing a democratic government in the once dictator controlled country of Iraq.
Directions: Identify the cause of and several effects of the Black Death. Circle the cause and
underline the effects.
The Black Death, a deadly plague, swept through Europe between 1347 and 1351. It was
not caused by one disease but by several different form of plague. One form called bubonic
plague could be identified by swellings called buboes that appeared on victim’s bodies.
Another even deadlier form could spread through the air and kill people in less than a day.
The Black Death killed so many people that many were buried quickly without priests or
ceremonies. In some villages nearly everyone died or fled as neighbors fell ill. In England
alone, about 1,000 villages were abandoned.
The plague killed millions of people in Europe and million more around the world. Some
historians think that Europe lost about a third of its population – perhaps 25 million people.
This huge drop in population caused sweeping changes in Europe.
In most places, the manor system fell apart completely. There weren’t enough people left
to work in the fields. Those peasants and serfs who had survived the plague found their skills in
high demand. Suddenly, they could demand wages for their labor. Once they had money,
many fled their manors completely, moving instead to Europe’s growing cities.
