Gulf War

"No fly zone" operations were conducted post Desert Storm (in Iraq). Operation Restore Hope in Somolia was the next operation in 1993 (see film: Black Hawk Down).

Saddam Hussein.

There was no hostile action in 1990, that was Operation Desert SHIELD a military build up of forces in Saudi Arabia; to be used in case Saddam didn't remove his forces from Kuwait. Hostile operations commenced on or about 15 January 1991 and lasted about 100 hours before Saddam removed his forces from Kuwait. UK casualties were about 47 Killed, many from friendly fire.

Yes

It was the only military action his party was involved in. Other than the gulf; the Falklands War (1982) has been the only war Britain has been involved since the 1950's.

The stated US interest in operation desert storm was the liberation of the state of Kuwait, and the protection of the Kingdom of Saud. The main reasons for the us interest in this region is of course oil, and the protection of the oil fields (and our suppliers) from the actions of rogue states and the instability that would be caused by the disruption of oil flow. (Think Catrina on a much larger scale.)

Wars have almost always been fought for various reasons, sometimes even combinations of reasons, some which follow:

1. Water rights

2. Land rights

3. Land conquests

4. Ocean, Lake, and River control

5. Border disputes

6. Political reasons

7. Religious reasons

8. Attitude problems

9. Self Defense

10. Money or debts

11. Gold/Silver/furs/lumber/raw minerals/oil/etc.

Unless a King, President, Emperor, Prince, Queen, Prime Minister, etc. simply just likes to fight, there's usually some of those reasons for it.

Racial wars are (or were) not normally openly stated during the 20th century, with the exception of Africa and it's inherent apartheid problems. For reasons unknown, the people of Jewish religion have incorrectly been sometimes classified as a race of people; they are a religious people, just like any other religion; but they were heavily prosecuted by the Nazi regime in Europe during WWII. The Nazi's may have been, at least partially responsible for aiding in the growth of the term "race" when discussing the Jewish people. As that party did practice "genocide" on that particular RELIGION.

The polite word for genocide was "cleansing"; that is to say, ridding the population of particular groups.

The 20th century was notably most famous for it, for two good reasons: 1. It used modern technology (gas chambers, furnaces, and modern communication systems to capture their victims) and was thusly extremely effective on a mass scale. 2. It was recent, recent enough for people to see live film covering the tragedies and recent enough to speak with some of the victims.

Countries south of the Equator. When its hot in July in the Northern Hemisphere, its winter in the Southern Hemisphere. The reverse is also true - when it is a chilly February in the Northern Hemisphere, it is warm summer in the Southern Hemisphere.

The economic sanctions refers to the domestic penalties that are applied by one country to another country. The economic sanctions usually come in various forms like restrictions on the financial transactions and trade barriers.

1. Iraq-Iran War (1980-1988) 2. Operation Desert Storm (Jan-Feb 1991) 3. Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003-)

A country that supplied the US's valuable oil was being invaded.

The corporation.

The US/Allies had stopped the communists at the 38th Parallel.

Iran

convinced Egypt to recognize Israel and Israel to gradually withdraw from the Sinai Peninsula

it is worth over will over $355,000,000,000

The Soviet Union was gone...the cold war was over...nothing could stop the US now...there was only ONE "national strategic" and "operational objective" of the US during DS...Remove Iraq from that oil! This was done.

Of course not. They went via Suez Canal

Approximately 15 Jan to 26 Feb 1991; almost a month and a half.

Gen . Carl E. Vuono served up to June 21, 1991 and then Gen . Gordon R. Sullivan served from June 21, 1991 to June 20, 1995 . The 1st Gulf War was from August 2, 1990 -- February 28, 1991 which means there were two Army Chiefs of Staff whose service overlapped each other during the conflict .

See related link below for a list of US Army Chiefs of Staff .

The LAST Declared war fought by the US, was WWII. The Korean War (1950-1953) and the Vietnam War (1961-1975) were "LIMITED WARS"; limited to a certain region, and limited to NON-Nuclear weapons; and were part of the Cold War to stop the spread of communism. Operation Urgent Fury-1983, was to liberate US citizens in Grenada. Operation Just Cause-1989, was to arrest Gen. Noriega in Panama. Operation Desert Storm-1991, was to remove Iraq from Kuwait. Operation Restore Hope-1993, was to help starving people in Somalia. Operation Iraqi Freedom-2003, was to remove Saddam from power in Iraq.

See if the "American War Library" can help you out.

Neither. Operation Desert Storm stared in January 1991.

There was only one Gulf War in 1990-91. It was about oil.

The Iran-Iraq War of 1980-88 has been repeatedly mistaken on WikiAnswers for the "first" Gulf War, but it was fought entirely between Iran and Iraq. In the last years of the war the US began providing American flags to international tankers in the Persian Gulf as there was a legitimate concern that the war might interrupt the flow of oil from this region. A US warship was put out of commission by an Iraqi missile, and the US Navy interdicted several Iranian suicide boats.

The operations presently being conducted in Iraq and Afghanistan are not a Gulf War either, but they are about oil. Most of the world's oil comes from that part of the world.

1. No danger of the Soviet Union interferring, as they no longer existed. 2. No danger of any other super power interferring, as they no longer existed. 3. No danger of an military operation getting out of control, because there was no other known enemy superpower. 4. Cold War was over. 5. Iraq had a large military, but it was suspected/known that their military was not equal in quality to it's size. 6. Oil rich environment.
