When Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, the resulting conflict was known as the Gulf War. The initial coalition military operation was called "Operation Desert Shield" and had the job of protecting Saudi Arabia from attack. The offensive, called "Operation Desert Storm", began on Jan 15, 1991 when the coalition forces launched their attack on Iraq.
