What were the causes and results of the First Gulf War in 1991?
Well, the "First Gulf War" was the only Gulf War. What is going on now in Iraq and Afghanistan has very little to do with the Persian Gulf as a strategic necessity. To answer the question, the causes were the British exclusion of Kuwait when the country of Iraq was formed after World War 1, and the power vacuum created by the ending of the Cold War. Sadaam Hussein saw an opportunity to annex Kuwait in 1990 and create an Arab alliance in the Mideast, but other Arab countries did not go for it. The threat to the Persian Gulf oil suppy led to the formation of the Gulf Coalition, and Iraq was ejected from Kuwait in 1991. The long-term results of the war were a continued Western military presence in the Persian Gulf region, and the removal of Iraq as a threat to Persian Gulf oil exportation.

Can the Euphrates be accessed from the Black Sea or the Mediterranean Sea?
Orlando Figes, an English historian and the auther of the book "The Crimean War - a History", says that Greek Traders preferred shipments of English manufactured goods to the Persian Gulf and India in the 1840's to go by way of the Mediterreanian Sea, through the Bosphorus to the Black Sea, to the port of Trebizond on the Southern shore in Anatolia, Turkey (Ottoman Empire) and from there down the Euphrates to the Persian Gulf. This was to avoid the Suez Canal's high winds and Monsoons and avoid the ruler of Egypt, Mehmet Ali, a French Ally. The connection between Trebizond and the headwaters of the Euphrates was, by all accounts, overland southeast to Erzerum near the headwaters of the Euphrates. A difficulties found in a survey of this route in the 1840's by the British led to its termination with plans for a rail connection from the Med to the Persian Gulf and the rise of Steam ships making the connection to the Persian Gulf and India faster.

What was the gulf of tonkin escalation?
The United States claimed that North Vietnam fired at American ships in the Gulf of Tonkin. This led to the Gulf of Tonkin resolutions which gave President Johnson the power to do what ever he deemed necessary to protect America. Many people believe North Vietnam never fired at American ships and Johnson just made it up for an excuse to go to war.
