A & B

The Persian Gulf War of 1991 was both a conventional war and a limited war. It falls into the definition of a conventional war, because, unlike an insurgency or counter-insurgency, the military engagement was between multiple state actors and no non-state actors or civil rebellions. It falls into the definition of limited war, because the UN Coalition had expressly limited goals for the war (liberation of Kuwait) and was unable to step beyond those requirements. This is in contrast to a total war, which is a war pursued to the fullest extent capable by the various parties.
