A valuable addition to your collection of military memorabilia items.The Gulf War, also known as Operation Desert Storm, was a conflict that took place in 1990-1991 in the Middle East. It was a result of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, which prompted a military response by a coalition of nations led by the United States. Here are key aspects of the Gulf War:1. Invasion of Kuwait (August 1990): The conflict began on August 2, 1990, when Iraqi forces, led by Saddam Hussein, invaded Kuwait, accusing it of overproduction of oil and theft of Iraqi oil through slant drilling.2. International Response: The United Nations condemned the invasion, and the UN Security Council passed a series of resolutions demanding Iraq's withdrawal from Kuwait. Economic sanctions were imposed, but Iraq did not comply.3. Coalition Buildup: The United States, under President George H.W. Bush, initiated a massive international coalition to force Iraq out of Kuwait. The coalition included countries from Europe, the Middle East, and other regions.4. Operation Desert Shield: The period from August 1990 to January 1991 was characterized by a buildup of coalition forces in the region. This defensive operation aimed to deter further Iraqi aggression and protect Saudi Arabia and other Gulf nations.5. Coalition Air Campaign (January 1991): The coalition launched an extensive air campaign, known as Operation Desert Storm, on January 17, 1991. It sought to degrade Iraq's military capabilities and infrastructure.6. Ground Offensive (February 1991): The ground phase, also known as the Hundred-Hour Ground War, began on February 24, 1991. Coalition forces swiftly and decisively expelled Iraqi forces from Kuwait.7. Ceasefire (February 28, 1991): Following the liberation of Kuwait, a ceasefire was declared on February 28, 1991. The terms of the ceasefire required Iraq to comply with a series of UN resolutions, including disarmament.8. Aftermath: While the Gulf War achieved its immediate goals of liberating Kuwait, it did not lead to the toppling of Saddam Hussein. The conflict had significant geopolitical implications and marked the beginning of a long-standing no-fly zone in parts of Iraq. Worldwide combined shipment is welcome to save you money.
