There was no war in 1990. Operation Desert Shield occurred in 1990. Operation Desert Shield consisted of building up military forces in Southwest Asia (Saudi Arabia and surrounding areas) to be used in the event Iraq refused to remove itself from Kuwait. Iraq ignored the ultimatum to remove itself from Kuwait. On or about 15 Jan 1991; Operation Desert Storm commenced to physically remove Iraq from Kuwait. This was accomplished within 60 days, and Operation Desert Storm was completed.
