Operation Uphold Democracy

Operation Uphold Democracy was a U.S.-led military intervention in Haiti in 1994, aimed at restoring the democratically elected President, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who had been ousted in a military coup. The operation involved deploying troops to help remove the illegal military government, restore stability, and support the re-establishment of a legitimate government. It was authorized by the United Nations and involved cooperation among various countries. The mission successfully helped to bring back civilian governance, reduce violence, and promote political stability, marking a significant effort to re-establish democracy and peace in Haiti.
