What is another name for Operation Desert Storm?

Answer 1

Operation Desert Shield was the name of the first phase of the first Gulf War. The second phase, the liberation of Kuwait, was operation Desert Storm.
Operation Desert Shield (Gulf War) was the name of the deployment of allied troops to defend Saudi Arabia from possible invasion by Iraq in 1990, and formed part of the 1990-91 Gulf War.

Answer 2

it was a war fought between Iraq and the U.S. Iraq invaded Kuwait, its smaller southern neighbor, and we gave Iraq a deadline to remove all their troops. They did not acknowledge the deadline, so America went all out, first sending Desert Shield, an operation to protect Kuwait, and then the actual combat, Operation Desert Storm. It started in January of 1991 when American stealth bombers flew over the border and blew up Iraqi detection stations so that the planes following them could cross the Iraqi border undetected. Eventually, we were able to push Iraq out of Kuwait and end the first Gulf War

The actual war wasn't operation desert storm. The war was the Persian Gulf War and the Iraq War. Operation Desert Storm was an operation in the war not the war itself

Answer 3

Before Operation Desert Storm, the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988), which most Americans ignored, was called the Persian Gulf War. Then after Desert Storm, the press took that title away from the Iranians and Iraqis and gave the "Gulf War" title to the Americans and British. Then when Operation Iraqi Freedom commenced in 2003, people got confused and didn't know what to call this Persian Gulf war...1 or 2, or 3? Consequently, to avoid confusion, call them what they were: 1. Iran-Iraq War 1980-1988 2. Operation Desert Storm (January and February 1991); even though the British don't like to use that term. The United States commissioned a US Postage Stamp entitled Operation Desert Storm. 3. Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003- )
