The Persian Gulf War began after Iraq invaded Kuwait on August 2, 1990. This invasion led to a swift international response, culminating in a coalition of forces led by the United States launching Operation Desert Shield to protect Saudi Arabia and later Operation Desert Storm to expel Iraqi forces from Kuwait. The conflict highlighted regional tensions and had significant geopolitical implications.
