Who were the army captains in Desert Storm?
Well, at least you defined captains for at least one branch of service...the army. Because there are captains in the NAVY, COAST GUARD, MARINE CORPS, and the AIR FORCE. But you didn't mention which nation (country); Army Captains of Britain, France, the US, etc.?
However, the above was strictly information for future knowledge; unfortunately, you'll most likely never know (highly improbable) the names of the captains during DS; as normally (for US Army outfits anyway) there are at least 11 captains within a typical battalion; and there were dozens of battalions involved with DS. Next difficulty are the airmen; helicopter and fixed wing pilots/co-pilots/navigators are always officers...the most common rank is captain. There's another thousand names to throw into the hat!
The higher the rank, the less names there are to remember.
The Persian War 499-449 BCE ended with a settlement where the Persians agreed with the anti-Persian Delian League to stay away from Greek city-states in the eastern Mediterranean littoral.
The Persians had revenge when they helped the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta to defeat the empire Athens had turned the Delian League into.
The Greek inter-city wars continued on unabated, and Persia re-established control over the Asian-Greek cities again as the mainland Greek cities were too busy fighting amongst themselves to worry about them.

Who was the former British Army Colonel famous for a speech he gave during the Gulf War?
Tim Collins We go to liberate, not to conquer.
We will not fly our flags in their country
We are entering Iraq to free a people and the only flag which will be flown in that ancient land is their own.
Show respect for them. There are some who are alive at this moment who will not be alive shortly.
Those who do not wish to go on that journey, we will not send.
As for the others, I expect you to rock their world.
Wipe them out if that is what they choose.
But if you are ferocious in battle remember to be magnanimous in victory. Iraq is steeped in history.
It is the site of the Garden of Eden, of the Great Flood and the birthplace of Abraham.
Tread lightly there. You will see things that no man could pay to see
-- and you will have to go a long way to find a more decent, generous and upright people than the Iraqis.
You will be embarrassed by their hospitality even though they have nothing. Don't treat them as refugees for they are in their own country.
Their children will be poor, in years to come they will know that the light of liberation in their lives was brought by you. If there are casualties of war then remember that when they woke up and got dressed in the morning they did not plan to die this day.
Allow them dignity in death.
Bury them properly and mark their graves. It is my foremost intention to bring every single one of you out alive.
But there may be people among us who will not see the end of this campaign.
We will put them in their sleeping bags and send them back.
There will be no time for sorrow. The enemy should be in no doubt that we are his nemesis and that we are bringing about his rightful destruction.
There are many regional commanders who have stains on their souls and they are stoking the fires of hell for Saddam.
He and his forces will be destroyed by this coalition for what they have done.
As they die they will know their deeds have brought them to this place. Show them no pity. It is a big step to take another human life.
It is not to be done lightly.
I know of men who have taken life needlessly in other conflicts.
I can assure you they live with the mark of Cain upon them. If someone surrenders to you then remember they have that right in international law and ensure that one day they go home to their family.
The ones who wish to fight, well, we aim to please. If you harm the regiment or its history by over-enthusiasm in killing or in cowardice, know it is your family who will suffer.
You will be shunned unless your conduct is of the highest -- for your deeds will follow you down through history.
We will bring shame on neither our uniform or our nation. (On Saddam's chemical and biological weapons.) It is not a question of if, it's a question of when.
We know he has already devolved the decision to lower commanders, and that means he has already taken the decision himself.
If we survive the first strike we will survive the attack. As for ourselves, let's bring everyone home and leave Iraq a better place for us having been there. Our business now is north.

How far had Stresemann succeeded in solving Germanys problems by 1929?
PROMISED TO CONTINUE REPARATIONS PAYMENT AND STOPPED PASSIVE RESISTANCE ( P)>- so helped to solve the problem of French invasion of Ruhr - workers went back to work and (E)- meant that France could get the goods to pay the reparations, so she left the Ruhr, also solved hyperinflation as goods was being produced (E)- THUS: Because of his willingness to solve the problems of Ruhr crisis, the Allies were willing to open negotiation on reparations (L) payment
INTRODUCED NEW CURRENCY (P)>- Replaced the worthless German marks with a new currency called the RENTENMARK (E)- this solved the problem of the currency losing value and hyperinflation because people began to have confidence in the currency again- THIS: the new German currency stablised the value of money and price beagn to return to normal
NEGOTIATED DAWES PLAN (P)- this was signed in agreement by the Allied countries - France, Britain and USA - Americans provided LOANS (800 million gold marks) (E) and allowed the Germans to start repaying their reparations bills and spread their payments over a LONGER period- helped to solve the problem of reparations as her economy could recover with the loans (E)-THUS - could afford to pay reparations again (L)
NEGOTIATED YOUNG PLAN 1929 (P)>- reduced the reparations payment still further. (E)- because Germany showed her willingness to co-operate with the Allied countries and this improved Germany relations with them (E)-THUS - withdrawal of Allied troops from Germany by 1930 and 1926 Germany was allowed to join the League of Nations (L)
ENJOYED ECONOMIC PROSPERITY (P)- After recovering from the crisis in 1923, foreign banks (mostly American) were willing to loan Germany vast sums of money. With this money 3 million new homes, new roads and railways were built. (E)- As a result German industry produced more goods and exports increased (E)- THUS Germany seem the most modern and prosperous country outside of the USA and this led to political stability - Weimar party won elections and more stable government - extremists / opposition parties like Nazis and communists did not gain support because Germans were happy.(L)
BROUGHT POLITICAL STABILITY (P)>- 9 November 1923, Hitler organised the Munich Putsch - Hitler expected to gain power through rebellion because hyperinflation had caused resentment and anger amongst the German people and Hitler thought they would support him in a putsch (E)- HOWEVER - Stresemann managed to win support of army and police who helped him crush rebellions - Revolt was successfully crushed by the police and Nazis and Hitler arrested and sentenced to 5 yrs jail - Nazi Party was greatly weakened as many Nazis and the leader was arrested. - The Nazi party was banned and Hitler was not allowed to speak publicly (until 1928) (E)- THUS - Extremist parties did badly at the elections - Nazi Party remained the smallest party in the Reichstag up to 1928 - no support from people = Political stability as Stresemann managed to win support of German people- were happy with the economic prosperity brought by Stresemann's policies and were uninterested in extremists politics. The Weimar government was more stable with a Grand Coalition government after the election of 1928 and had 60% support from Reichstag (L)
What was Iraq and Iran before?
Your question is not very clear. I assume you mean to ask about what other names these two territories have been known by throughout history. Iraq has always been known as "Iraq" in Arabic (we're talking at least 1500 years, probably more). In European languages, however, the area was usually known as MESOPOTAMIA. In the Bible, I suppose the terms BABYLONIA or CHALDEA are used to refer to Iraq (or at least the southern half of it. The northern part would be ASSYRIA). Iranians maintain that their land has always been called "Iran" in their native language as well. However, most other people used the term PERSIA. Today, PERSIA (or "Fars", to use the local pronunciation), is merely one province in southwestern Iran.
It is a military alliance formed in 1949. Its member states agree to mutual assistance in case of attack from a non-member country

Was the gulf war a 'total war'?
Answer
Total war would have involved nuclear weapons. Total means total.
Answer
An example of total war would be a scenario such as existed in recent times.
Tony Blair and George bush decided to attack Saddam Hussain to change the regime and also to discover any future weapons/ plans he might have about trying to drag Israel into war with all Arab States.
It started when Saddam tried to get a British company to make the barrels of a super gun aimed at Israel designed to drag all Arab states into war with the Jews who they believe accupy Arab land wrongly.
The tubes were said to be for food processing but on inspection were found to be far too highly developed for that purpose.
The Mussad ( The Israeli secret service ) discovered that the super guns designer had been desparate to sell his idea to the west but that failed and he had made a deal with Saddam,he was killed off and Her Majesties Customs had
intercepted the tubes being driven on the motorway on route to Iraq.
Saddam was given many warnings about his developing arsenal but made excuses about their purpose saying that the rockets were for defence and did not have the fuel to reach Israel, it was discovered that a simple stage in the rockets production
meant that a larger fuel cell could easily be fitted in order to reach jewish settlements.
Finaly he was given a last warning,Resolution 1441 but the French and German members had no stomach for any conflict and when Saddam breached the rules once more only the more dedicated members went to war.
Now let us take a different veiw! Saddam is still in power!,he fires a weapon into Israel and Israel retaliates,other Arab states join Iraq to fight the Jews,
Israel is a nuclear power and has little choice in the end but to use nuclear weapons,radio active oil does not travel well at all so we all starve to death or fight to gain more oil producing land worldwide,world war meaning total and utter destruction of life as we know it.
What human rights did Saddam Hussein take away?
There are too many to name, but here are a few: Documented human rights violations 1979-2003 * Approved executions, acts of torture and rape. * Public beheadings of women who were accuse of prostitution and took place in front of family members including children. The heads of the women were publicly displayed near signs reading 'For the honor of Iraq.' 130 women were reportedly killed in this manner, but the estimation is probably higher. * Children (reported as young as 5) were subjected to military training which included cruelty to animals. If the parents objected they were executed and the children imprisoned. * The Iraq citizens were restricted from voting and 8% of members of Arab Ba' ath Party could vote leaving the citizens unable to vote in another government. * The Iraq citizens were not allowed to assemble unless it was to express support for their government. The Iraqi government controlled the establishment of political parties regulated by internal affairs which monitored their activities. * Check points prevented citizens from traveling abroad without government permission (expensive). They had to post collateral and Iraqi women could not travel without a male companion. * Halabja poison gas attack occurred March 15 - 19, 1988 and Hussein began his extermination against the Kurdish people living in Northern Iraq. There were at least 50,000 - 100,000 people killed, many were women and children. * Experimentation's of different gases on civilians. * Mass executions on the Kurdish and disappearances of thousands of civilians. * Experimentation of chemical weapons including mustard gas, Sarin, nerve agents that killed thousands. * Imprisonment of thousands of women, children and the elderly under extreme deprivation. * Citizens were forced from their villages, homes and land along with schools, mosques, farms and power stations. * Hussein massacred Kurdish north and the Shiasouth and the deaths were estimated from a range of 2,000 - 100,000 Kurds and 60,000 to 130,00 for shi ites. * Death penalties were handed down for theft, corruption, currency speculation and military desertion. The more fortunate had amputations or branding. * CNN revealed eventually that Iraq torturing journalists and Iraqi citizens in 1990s. * In the 2003 invasion of Iraq mass graves were found with several thousand bodies and more are being uncovered to this day.; It was believed that most of the dead died in the 1991 uprising against Saddam Hussein. * In the 2003 invasion of Iraq many torture center were found in security office and police stations such as hooks for hanging people by their hands for beatings, electric shock, etc. * In some reports torture was used to improve the performance of the Iraqi soccer team, but there are no correct records on this.

How many hours of ground fighting happened to end the Persian gulf war?

What happens if us never caught Saddam Hussein?
If the U.S. had never caught Saddam Hussein, it is likely that he would have continued to exert influence in the region, potentially leading to ongoing instability in Iraq and the broader Middle East. His absence from capture might have fueled persistent insurgency against U.S. forces, complicating post-war reconstruction efforts. Additionally, his survival could have revived his regime's loyalists, possibly resulting in a more fragmented Iraq and prolonged conflict. Ultimately, the dynamics of U.S. foreign policy and regional relationships could have shifted significantly.
