The 1991 Gulf War, also known as Desert Storm, was a major military conflict that took place in response to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. Led by a coalition of international forces, primarily spearheaded by the United States, the conflict aimed to liberate Kuwait from Iraqi occupation and restore its sovereignty. The war featured a swift and decisive air campaign followed by a ground offensive, resulting in the expulsion of Iraqi forces from Kuwait in a matter of weeks. Desert Storm marked a pivotal moment in modern warfare, showcasing the effectiveness of precision-guided weaponry and international cooperation while highlighting the challenges of regional stability in the Middle East.
