Why did you have a conflict in persin gulf war?
The Persian Gulf War was the first major international crisis to take place after the cold war (1947-89; an unarmed political conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union regarding the spread of communism). The war was the result of Iraqi troops invading neighboring Kuwait and threatening the world's oil supply. The six-week Gulf War introduced a new dimension in modern warfare: the confrontation was telecast around the world from start to finish, beginning in February 1991 and ending the following April. In the war the United Nations (an international peace-keeping force) effectively organized a coalition against Iraq. Leading members of the coalition included Egypt, France, Great Britain, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and the United States. The Gulf War also tested the ability of the United States and Russia to cooperate in world affairs.

What would a Fifty Dinars bill from the Central Bank of Iraq during Saddam's reign be worth?
Not one red cent, keep it and in tweenty years it may add up to a few dollars... As money, nothing. As a collectable, very little since there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of them around, brought back as souveniers from both desert wars. But as a novelty item, the asking price is usually $2-$5. You can probably find some on eBay and see if they are selling.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1990 (the Berlin Wall came down in 1989)...the US military was going out business (sort of a recession); and all of those brand new multi-million and multi-billion dollar M1 tanks, Cruise Missiles, Apache &, Blackhawk helicopters, 117 Stealth fighters, B1 & B2 Bombers, Patriot Missiles, and tank destroyers such as the A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog) etc. were NEVER GOING TO BE USED! They also use (NEED) oil! With no USSR to stop the US, Saddam did the US military a favor...a chance to use those new un-tested machines.

Where was it the Persian gulf war?
Once, when the Ottoman Empire still existed, Kuwait was a part of Iraq. Nowadays, it is an independent country, rich with oil. Iraq's leader- Saddam Hussein, wanted to regain the lost land of Kuwait and also gain control over Kuwait's oil wells. He then planned to continue, and Invade Saudi Arabia- which will put Hussein in the position as the biggest single oil supplier in the world- for he would control 40% of the oil supplies in the world.
Therefore, Hussein came up with the excuse, that Kuwait is slant-drilling and in fact are stilling Iraqi oil. Something that was never proven right. With theis Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990.
The war was over within 100 days, with Iraqi's withdrawal and loss.
