Persian Gulf War

Hi guys,





Today we covered a lot of material on the Persian Gulf War. Many of you were still in diapers when Operation Desert Storm began. I wanted to be sure that many of you took the time to read up on this incident.

Mr. Quartararo

Read the summary of the Persian Gulf War, found on www.wikipedia.org.

"The Gulf War or the Persian Gulf War (16 January 1991–28 February 1991)[1][2] was a conflict between Iraq and a coalition force of approximately 30 nations[3] led by the United Nations (UN) and authorized by the United Nations (UN) in order to liberate Kuwait. The war developed out of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on August 2, 1990. The aggression was met with immediate economic sanctions by the UN against Iraq. The international armed intervention began in January 1991, resulting in a decisive victory for the coalition forces, which drove Iraqi forces out of Kuwait with minimal coalition deaths. Aerial and ground combat was confined to Iraq, Kuwait, and bordering areas of Saudi Arabia. Iraq also launched missiles against targets in Saudi Arabia and Israel"
