The Gulf War: Causes and Consequences

The Gulf War (1990-1991) was a significant military conflict initiated by Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, driven by desires for oil control and regional dominance. Following UN sanctions, a US-led coalition launched Operation Desert Storm, leading to Kuwait's liberation. The war resulted in heavy losses for Iraq and Kuwait, with profound impacts on international relations, environmental damage, and shifts in Middle Eastern politics, emphasizing the need for future peace efforts.#GulfWar #MiddleEast #MilitaryHistory #InternationalRelations #Peace
