Gulf War

The Persian Gulf War, The Gulf War, Gulf War I and the Iraq War are all names given to the 1991 war. It was and continues to be mistakenly referred to as Operation Desert Storm.

The war in the Persian Gulf that was fought from 1980 to 1988 was between Iran and Iraq.

KKK, Ku Klux Klan opposed African-Americans, Jews, Catholics, and Immigrants.

The new computerized jets, such as the B1 Lancer and not yet fielded B2 had teething problems; so the old Vietnam War veterans had to come in and do the job for them: the mighty B52 Stratofortress and the A6 Intruder all weather medium bomber. Both of these old bombers had suffered greatly in the Vietnam War, approximately 30 Stratoforts and 84 Intruders had been destroyed in Vietnam, with nearly 400 B52s being destroyed by the SALT treaties, and only about 700 of each had been built in the 1960's. After the "Storm" the Intruder was retired, but only about 94 B-52s remain in service; irregardless of what the military says (that the B52 will fly forever)...94 bombers have to have spare parts and metal fatique does take it's toll if flown routinely.

Kuwait was liberated in Jan. 1991

The United States led coalition during the First Gulf War showed remarkable restraint before beginning the air war and ultimate land invasion into Kuwait and Iraq. The coalition operation began with Operation Desert Shield sending the bulk forces to secure Saudi Arabia. Once diplomacy failed to secure Saddam Hussein's withdrawal did the phase of Desert Storm begin.

beacause he was vey very ................. bad provoking hate people like people hate calm dont get inn problems cuz o0f a stuiped man

1. were supported by the United Nations.
2. included Islamic countries.
3. relied heavily on airpower.

Yes. US and other Coalition forces entered Iraq and took the city of Basra, but they did not attempt to take Bagdad.

The end result of the Persian Gulf War in 1991 was that Iraq withdrew its occupying forces from Kuwait, which regained its independence.
The Iraqi Army was forced to leave Kuwait, and Iraq was no longer a threat to the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz. Basra was captured, and criticisms were voiced that Bagdad should have been captured as well. Two no-fly zones were imposed on Iraq, but Iraqi helicopters were excluded and they were used to butcher the Kurds residing in Iraq. Sabotaged Kuwaiti oil wells burned like a scene from hell. The soldiers of the Gulf Coalition returned to their respective countries.

Iraq invaded Kuwait. This was the first Gulf War with Saddam Hussein.

The 6th Fleet patrolled the Persian Gulf during the Iran-Iraq War from 1980-1988.

Some historians consider the Iran-Iraq War of the 1970's thru the 1980's to be the 1st Gulf War. If the 2nd Gulf War is Desert Storm, then it began on Jan 15, 1991 when Iraq failed to leave Kuwait. They left the following month in Feb, 1991, after the US/Coalition Forces removed them during Operation Desert Storm (which lasted approximately 30 days). The current Iraqi Operation (Operation Iraqi Freedom) started in 2003; and has the mission of restoring law, order, and stability to the nation of Iraq.

What war? The United States of America is not at war with any nation on earth. The US is (or was) hunting terrorists in Afghanistan since 2001. The US toppled Saddam H. from Iraq in 2003.

The establishing of law, order, and stability has been an ongoing problem in Iraq since 2003. If Iraq cannot control (police) it's own nation...who can?

The US police's it's country. Britain police's it's country. France police's it country. Russia, China, Iceland, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Jordan, Isreal, etc. etc. etc. all police their own nations. Certainly Iraq can probably police it's own country too.

14 June 1982.

To prevent the occupation of Kuwait by Iraq and its leader, Saddam Hussein. The US also asked other countries to join in a coalition.

As the name implies, the Persian Gulf War was fought for control of the Persian Gulf. Most of the modern world runs on oil, and most of the world's oil comes comes out of the Persian Gulf on supertankers. Ergo, the Persian Gulf is a very important body of water which Iraq threatened to take control of in 1990, as Iraq had already done with the neighboring country of Kuwait. The main idea of the Persian Gulf War was to prevent Iraq from gaining a choke hold on the world's oil supply.

The start of the Persian Gulf war was when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990. He invaded Kuwait mostly because he wanted the oil. The United Nations put sanctions on Iraq, but Saddam went on until the United States and a few other countries invaded. On February 28, 1991, Iraq retreated.

Kuwait, to Iraq's southwest, was conquered by Iraq in 1990.

Kuwait was invaded in 1990 by Iraq who claimed they had been stealing oil by drilling diagonally under the ground and also probably because Iraq did not want to repay the large amount of money they had borrowed from the Kuwaitis during the Iran-Iraq war.

The US and a coalition of other nations then retaliated against Iraq in what is commonly referred to as the Gulf War

avoid long-term involvement In Iraq. ♥

Saddam Hussein was required to step down as the dictator of iraq.

The US patrolled the Persian Gulf during the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988). The only US casualties were when an Iraqi jet fired a missile and struck the USS Stark killing approximately 30 US Sailors.

Umm, I think that's about.. £1.50
