What if there was never a gulf war
There were three Gulf Wars in the 20th and 21st centuries:1. Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988)2. Operation Desert Storm (Jan/Feb 1991)3. Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003- )No, there was only one Persian Gulf War in 1990-91.1. The Iran-Iraq War was fought entirely between Iran and Iraq in 1980-88, and it did not affect oil exports in the Persian Gulf until the latter stages.2. Desert Storm was not a war. It was an operation within the Gulf War. There were several operations in the Gulf War, but Desert Shield and Desert Storm were the main ones. In the Gulf War, Iraq faced an alliance of oil-producing and -consuming nations, but Iran was not one of them, as Iran remained neutral.3. Current hostilities in Iraq and Afghanistan are not a gulf war either.
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.
