Gulf War

The instability facing these Middle Eastern countries outweighs anything occuring in other distraught regions (such as Africa) because the economic contribution of the Middle East, these areas are famous for their Oil and Transportation of goods. If any of these countries were to place sanctions on the US (which ironically is happening in a vice-versa way) then oil prices would skyrocket and could harm our economy. Of course, the governments we are attempting to change in the Middle East could be loyal to us and not do that, but if the Taliban were to indict a regime change in one of these nations (UAE, Qatar, or Kuwait, etc.) then the oil sanctions would be harmful. Of course, the Middle East also encompasses a large region of the world and believe it or not, the Middle East has some of the fastest growing economies in the world. Then comes the whole "for democracy" preachings that would help "human rights" and what not, regardless of the number of wars we fight in the Middle East, we can never change the region, unless of course we use an ICBM.

no medals of honor were issued for the gulf war. However in April of 1991, 55 days after the cease fire was declared, Freddie Stowers was posthumously issued a medal of honor for service in WWI.

The reason why the Iraqi soldiers surrendered so easily is because the USA, UK and etc kept bombarding them with bombs on there defensive line. This made them sleep deprived and they went a bit mental and did not have a lot of food and water. The allies used things like the B-52 bomber to bomb the Iraqi line.

Operation Desert Shield was the name of the first phase of the first Gulf War. The second phase, the liberation of Kuwait, was operation Desert Storm.

During the Iran-Iraq War of 1980-1988, both countries were primarily equipped with some Soviet equipment, but mainly Chinese Communist T-59 tanks (Chinese versions of Soviet T-54/55 tanks), and "Silkworm" missiles. Small arms for the infantry units were largely Soviet/Chinese supplied Assault Rifles, along with light anti-tank shoulder fired rockets of the RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenade) family.

The Gulf War in Kuwait and Iraq was fought from August, 1990 to February, 1991, during the one-term Presidency of George Herbert Walker Bush (41st US President and father of the 43rd US President, George W. Bush).

It's important because it is the defining example of conflict and interventionism in the 21st century, especially low intensity conflict. What's more since it is so polarizing it tends to bring out larger philosophical and political beliefs from those who analyze it.

The Iran-Iraq War 1980-1988, was fought primarily for control of the Persian Gulf. US Naval Forces were present there, to mediate the area; the USS Stark (FRIGATE) was struck by an Iraqi missile and nearly sank. Later the USS Vincennes shot down a Iraqi/Iranian civilian airliner by accident.

See website: Iran-Iraq War 1980-1988. The Iran-Iraq War was fought between Iran and Iraq. A few countries sided with one or the other, but most countries did not want either side to win. Casualties were high on both sides, but Iran definitely got the worst of it. Now....as the the Persian Gulf War of 1990-91, casualties on the Coalition side were light, and exact figures should be available. Casualties on the Iraqi side were much higher, but not as high as they might have been. Because of the Coalition strategy, many Iraqi divisions were encircled, and they chose to surrender rather than to fight to the death.

Some characteristics of Gulf war syndrome are a wide range of acute and chronic symptoms, including fatigue, muscle pain, cognitive problems, rashes and diarrhea. Gulf war syndrome stroke approximately 250,000 of the 697,000 veterans and is a condition with serious consequences.

Small scale wars, especially when they are carried outside of a country's borders, are good for the economy. The main reason for that is the increased demand for military equipment and supplies, additional jobs created, etc. Remember what a boon was WW II for US economy. Desert Storm's positive effect on economy is of course far less than that of WW II but it still was good.

There was no actual treaty that ended the Persian Gulf War. War had not actually been declared by either side. Hostilities were ended by a Ceasefire Agreement, which has the same effect as a treaty.

The US Navy monitored the Persian Gulf during the Iran-Iraq War 1980-1988. The only casualties was when an Iraqi missile struck the USS Stark (Frigate) killing over 30 US Sailors, and nearly sinking the ship.
