The end result of the Persian Gulf War in 1991 was that Iraq withdrew its occupying forces from Kuwait, which regained its independence.
The Iraqi Army was forced to leave Kuwait, and Iraq was no longer a threat to the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz. Basra was captured, and criticisms were voiced that Bagdad should have been captured as well. Two no-fly zones were imposed on Iraq, but Iraqi helicopters were excluded and they were used to butcher the Kurds residing in Iraq. Sabotaged Kuwaiti oil wells burned like a scene from hell. The soldiers of the Gulf Coalition returned to their respective countries.
