The presence of American troops in the Persian Gulf heightened tensions primarily due to perceived threats to regional sovereignty and security. Many Middle Eastern countries viewed the U.S. military presence as an infringement on their autonomy, particularly following events like the Gulf War and the subsequent interventions in Iraq. Additionally, the deployment of troops was often associated with U.S. support for Israel and opposition to Iran, further exacerbating regional animosities and contributing to anti-American sentiments. This complex geopolitical landscape fueled conflicts and instability in the region.

What were the causes and results of the First Gulf War in 1991?

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.
