Gulf War

Primarily, the United States, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. There were also 90 additional countries that contributed soldiers or funds to assist the Kuwait cause.,

And of course, Iraq was the other belligerent.

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.

Saddam Hussein's forces invaded and annexed the sovereign country of Kuwait

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.

Iraq invaded Kuwait primarily because the Iraqis thought that Kuwait was stealing their oil. Iraq suspected Kuwait of using slant drilling and stealing 300,000 barrels of oil daily.

Nations didn't take chances with oil or anything else during the cold war which might risk a confrontation with the then USSR (Soviet Union). With the USSR dissolved in 1990 (the Berlin Wall came down in 1989) the US (and the UN) were free to make any demands they wanted to. When Hussain took Kuwait in 1990, that was an oil region. With no one to stop the US/UN (read Soviet Union) the US/UN was free to make those demands: "Withdraw from Kuwait...or else!" Desert Shield commenced in 1990 (military buildup to be used if and when necessary to eject Iraq from Kuwait). Desert Storm commenced on or about 15 January 1991 to formerly eject Iraq from Kuwait; this was sucessfully accomplished within approximately 45 days. DS was successfully concluded in February 1991.

The Country Saddam Hussein invaded was Kuwait for their resources and because Iraq thought that they would get more power , but the invasion just lead to another war .

30 billion

Saudi Arabia paid the USA 39 billion to fight their war against Saddam.

Yes

The standard issue sidearm of US forces during the time of Desert Storm was the semi-automatic Beretta M9 pistol. Semi automatic pistols have been the standard for US sidearms since 1911, although the .38 caliber revolvers continued to appear well into the Korean War, and there are some instances of them appearing in Vietnam, as well.

Some embassy security forces use a .357 revolver as their sidearm, but no revolver is service issue in any combat unit.

The only acting General killed in action against any foreign enermy was George Custer. No other Generals were ever killed figthing in action for the U.S. Other than in the Civil War.

Probably not, the US was the primary supplier of military forces to keep the Persian Gulf sea lanes open (was called the "Tanker Wars" by the press).

The answer to the question depends on whether you are talking about "Desert Storm" as in a weather-event (like a sandstorm or whirlwind) or as in the Operation that the United States named its fight during the Persian Gulf War.

1) Desert Storm as a weather event is exclusively called: 3asifat As-Sa7ra2 -OR- Aasifat As-Sahra' (عاصفة الصحراء).

2) Operation Desert Storm is usually called 3amliat 3asifat As-Sa7ra2 -OR- Amliyat Aasifat As-Sahra' (عملية عاصفة الصحراء). The War itself is typically called either 7arb Al-5alij Ath-thani -OR- Harb Al-Khalij Ath-thani (The Second Gulf War - حرب الخليج الثانية) or 7arb Ta7rir Kuwait -OR- Harb Tahrir Kuwait (The Kuwait Liberation War - حرب تحرير الكويت)
