Any time the world's oil supply in the Persian Gulf is endangered by conflict...it's called the Persian Gulf crisis. If Axis warships conducted operations in or around the Persian Gulf during WWII, it would have been considered a "Persian Gulf Crisis." If the Arab-Israeli wars of the late 1940's, 1950's, or the 1967 Six Day War or Yom Kipper War of '73 had been fought along the borders of the Persian Gulf...then it would have been another "Persian gulf Crisis." Other "Persian Gulf Crisis's" have been: 1. Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) 2. Operation Desert Shield (1990-the build up of coalition forces in Saudi-Arabia/Southwest Asia). 3. Operation Desert Storm (Jan/Feb 1991-military force used to eject Iraq from Kuwait with forces built up during Operation Desert Shield the previous year). 4. Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003- the removal of Saddam from power in Iraq).
