Kuwait was invaded in 1990 by Iraq. The US/Coalition removed Iraq during a 45 day military campaign titled Operation Desert Storm in Jan/Feb 1991.
Operation Desert Storm started in the middle of the night, but hostilities continued for several weeks and happened at all hours of the day and night.

Vietnam War, 1955 thru 1975. Operation Desert Storm (removal of Iraq from Kuwait) took place in January & February of 1991 (less than a 60 day military campaign). Operation Iraqi Freedom started in 2003.
