There was no Persian Gulf War in 1990. There was an Iraq-Iran War 1980-1988 and an Operation Desert Storm in January and February 1991 (less than a 60 day campaign).

There was an Operation Desert Shield in 1990, which consisted of a military build-up of coalition forces in Saudi Arabia...to be used if and when necessary...which it was in January 1991.
