Gulf War

An historian wants to know how the gulf war was fought.what is the appropriate way to use primary source?

Former General of the US Army Norman is his first name.

Iran-Iraq War 1980-1988; Operation Desert Storm (Jan-Feb 1991); Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003 to present).

This president was George H. W. Bush. Father,I believe,to George W. Bush.

There were 3 gulf wars in the 20th & 21st centuries: 1. Iran-Iraq War 1980-1988 2. Operation Desert Storm Jan/Feb '91 3. Operation Iraqi Freedom 2003-

The 82nd ABN DIV did not make a combat jump during Desert Storm. The Division was deployed further west. There were no combat jumps during Desert Storm. The last combat jump conducted by the 82nd ABN was DEC 20, 1989 in Panama during Operation Just Cause.

well.......sadam Hussein (currently dead) was apparently building weapond of mass destructions in Iraq (cia has admitted they have not been building any wmd's) so the united states of America was provoked into attack in fear of terrorist stealing these weapons and bombing the US. therefor,both Saddam and the Americans are responsible for the war.

Because Iraq invaded Kuwait and Kuwait is an ally of the US. Iraq's invasion also was a major threat to Saudi Arabia and under no condition could the Western world allow such a concentration of the world oil reserves to be controlled by Saddam Hussein.

The Korean War came after the Vietnam War.

The Iraq War ended on December 16, 2011. However, a domestic Iraqi Insurgency has continued to the preseny.

The 2002 10,000 Iraqi Dinar note in mint uncirculated condition is worth $7 to a collector. In normal used condition it is worthless.

Approximately 146 US Servicepeople died during Operation Desert Storm (Jan-Feb 1991).

The role of the attack helicopters in the first gulf war was to destabilize the foot soldiers of the Iraqis with a view to providing a leeway for the advancement of the Allied Forces foot soldiers

General Norman Schwazcopf, Better know as 'Stormin" 'Norman"

Strength in numbers. If only one country attacked another, it would be easy to point fingers (blaming). If a coalition was formed, then the "majority rules", so it must be right; and no one starts pointing fingers (blaming).

Read about the Berlin Wall.

It divided the west and east of Germany, east was controlled by Soviet Union and west was getting help from Britain and United Sates. The Soviet union was spreading communism and the Americans wanted to spread capitalism.

There aren't many similarities between the Vietnam War and the Persian Gulf War but what I can say is that they both started in a different country and that country asked for the United States help. The United States plays a huge part in both wars. See in the Vietnam War the United States gets involved because our president didn't want Communism to spread across the world which would soon also end up in the United States. In the Persian Gulf War Kuwait was invaded by Iraqi and Kuwait called for help and the Unites States stepped in to help Kuwait drive out Iraqi from their country.

by Persian gulf war you mean Iran-Iraq war? if its that war Iraq got help from 44 other country at the end Iran won and there was around 1milion death in both side

1. A Gulf War occurred in 1980 and lasted until 1988 (Iran-Iraq War). 2. A Gulf War occurred in January and lasted until the next month in 1991; called Operation Desert Storm. The whole military campaign was over within 45 days. 3. A Gulf War occurred in the year 2003 in Iraq...and is currently undergoing law, order, and stability operations; this military campaign was code named Operation Iraqi Freedom.

To date, research indicates no Canadian fatalities occurred to hostile fire during DS.

Basically its just a "contest" between America and Soviet Union.... they started a race to see who made the most weapons... but its crazy because a war never actually broke out!! Funny, huh?

^^That didn't really answer the question... war DID break out, in Vietnam, Korea, and Afghanistan, all "proxy wars" of the cold war between the USSR and the USA. But the political impact was that it lead to the collapse of the Soviet Union, which was communist, and became democratic post-cold war.

There were three gulf wars in the 20th and 21st centuries:

1. Iran-Iraq War 1980-1988

2. Operation Desert Storm Jan/Feb '91

3. Operation Iraqi Freedom 2003-

Assuming that you are talking about #2, the Persian Gulf War of 1990-1991, the US led the UN coalition in order to liberate Kuwait from Iraqi occupation.

This site --->

lists American ff casualties at 18%

If 406,000 Americans were killed, that places the friendly fire death toll at roughly 78,000.

And sixty years later the problem still happens with a lack of proper fire control by US troops.

Example the 4 dead and 8 wounded Canadian soldiers who were bombed by the USAF in 2001, in Afghanistan. Two F16 pilots attacked the Canadians as they were conducting a live fire range exercise. The pilots claimed that they were "under fire" from the ground. The aircraft were flying at 20,000 feet, and the ground fire was at ground targets, with small arms weapons, not anti-aircraft missiles. No infantry weapon can reach 20,000 feet of altitude.

The AWACS controller told the F16's to "hold your fire" but they didn't listen, and four young Canadians died as a result.

Just one modern example of how dangerous it is to be near U.S. army troops when you are a "friendly force".

Hey Joey look I can edit this so that its factual information

There was a saying in WW2

When the Germans shoot, The British duck

When the British shoot, the Germans duck

When the Americans shoot, everybody ducks.
