Iraq invaded and occupied Kuwait in 1990, during the collapse of the Soviet Union (which guaranteed the cold war giant USSR would not interfere with US Military forces). US/Coalition forces built up forces during Operation Desert SHIELD in the Southwest Asia region (Saudi Arabia and surrounding areas). Iraq was given an ultimatum to remove itself from Kuwait. A time table was given (time for them to leave or be forced to leave). Iraq ignored the time table. US/Coalition forces moved to eject Iraq from Kuwait on about 15 Jan 1991, the commencement of Operation Desert STORM. By the following month, Feb, Iraq was removed; mission complete.
