Gulf War

The Iran-Iraq War lasted approximately from 1980 to 1988.

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.

The Commander in Chief was losing his military (US Army, US Air Force, and the US Navy) to base closures. 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.

The Iran-Iraq War 1980-1988 was primarily fought over control of the Persian Gulf.

Desert Storm commenced in January 1991 and ended the next month, in Febuary 1991.

there was/is nothing typical about this war. some of those who thought they were going for 8 months to a year, ended up being there 18 months to two years. others whom had fulfilled their obligation and were retired from the service, were called back. so what do you mean by typical.

Missiles were discharged in all three Golf Wars, which one concerns the question? 1. Iran-Iraq War 1980-1988 2. Operation Desert Storm Jan/Feb '91 3. Operation Iraqi Freedom 2003-

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.

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.
Operation Desert Shield (Gulf War) was the name of the deployment of allied troops to defend Saudi Arabia from possible invasion by Iraq in 1990, and formed part of the 1990-91 Gulf War.

States in areas from Florida to Texas were the ones to secede. Who were then fought by states like New york and Pennsylvania.

See website: Iran-Iraq War 1980-1988.

Primarily the US Navy was deployed to the Persian Gulf during the Iran-Iraq War of 1988. The USS Stark was struck by one Iraqi missile causing the only known (heavy) US casualities of the war.

Which Second Gulf War?

The Persian Gulf War of 1990-1991 was about Iraq's military annexation of Kuwait and the United Nations Coalition that intervened to restore the antebellum condition.

The Iraq War of 2003-2011 has unclear causes but was the American invasion of Iraq ostensibly to recover weapons of mass destruction which were never found.

The Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) was monitored by the US; US society monitored the gas prices.

First of all there was never Spartan Persian war.Only Persian invasion of GREECE. The Spartans fought alongside other Greeks in second of those invasions which were in 490 and in 480 BC. The Persians were defeated by ALLIED army of GREEKS, with navy lead by Athens and ground forces by Sparta. In first invasion Persians were defeated by only Athens and her allies.

DS commenced on or about 15 January and lasted until about 26/28 February 1991.

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).
