General Norman Schwarzkopf led the ground forces during the Gulf War in Kuwait. As commander of the U.S. Central Command, he oversaw Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm, which aimed to liberate Kuwait from Iraqi occupation. Schwarzkopf's leadership was pivotal in coordinating a coalition of forces and executing military strategies that ultimately led to the successful liberation of Kuwait in early 1991.
Coalition aircraft may have when striking ground targets. Ground troops simply ejected Iraqi forces from Kuwait...which was the mission.
Gulf War I aka Desert Storm, February 1991.
Operation desert storm was mainly for the UN forces consisting of a variety of internation forces to push enemy forces out of Kuwait
The Iraqi forces were expelled from Kuwait. George Bush announced a suspension of fighting. Saddam Hussein agreed to withdraw his forces from Kuwait but announced to his subjects that he had won the war. After 6 weeks of operation desert storm (the intense aerial bombardment of military targets and communications centres in Iraq and Kuwait) the end came surprisingly swiftly, after only 100 hours of the ground war launched in Iraq and Kuwait.
Other than the total removal of Iraqi Forces from Kuwait, flying and ground restrictions were placed upon the nation of Iraq.
Kuwait was liberated in Jan. 1991
There was no major allied presence in Kuwait in World War 2.
the ground in Kuwait is dry, and it gets very little rain
Iraq invaded Kuwait and was subsequently removed by coalition forces
First of all, the US Coalition forces liberated Kuwait, so it is improper (from a terminological standpoint) to call it an attack on Kuwait. The US Coalition forces were target the Iraqi Army.However, the US Coalition land forces disembarked further south in Saudi Arabia and entered Kuwait sovereign territory overland. The air forces were station on a number of Saudi Airbases and US aircraft carriers. Of course, the naval forces remained in the Persian Gulf and launched missiles remotely.
Iraq's invasion of Kuwait was not justified; it was a violation of Kuwait's national sovereignty. Kuwait's request for liberation and the ensuing war to expel Iraqi forces from Kuwait was justified, also on the grounds of Kuwait's national sovereignty.
The gulf not golf war was the war that occurred in Kuwait (a small country below Iraq) between Iraq forces and American forces. Saddam Hussein at the time invaded Kuwait for it's oil supplies, and America came in fought against him. In the end America and Kuwait forces managed to win and Iraq retreated.
