Some historians consider the Iran-Iraq War of the 1970's thru the 1980's to be the 1st Gulf War. If the 2nd Gulf War is Desert Storm, then it began on Jan 15, 1991 when Iraq failed to leave Kuwait. They left the following month in Feb, 1991, after the US/Coalition Forces removed them during Operation Desert Storm (which lasted approximately 30 days). The current Iraqi Operation (Operation Iraqi Freedom) started in 2003; and has the mission of restoring law, order, and stability to the nation of Iraq.
