Events of War

The war began January 16, 1991, with the coalition launching an air assault on Iraq and its

troops and military installations in Kuwait. The assault, which lasted 38 days, destroyed much of

Iraq's war-making capabilities; when the ground attack began February 24, coalition forces were

virtually unopposed and they defeated Iraqi ground troops within 100 hours. Hostilities ended

with a temporary cease-fire on February 27. Iraq agreed to terms of a United Nations

permanent cease-fire on April 6, 1991. The Persian Gulf War marks the first time in history that

air power played the most important role in deciding the outcome of a war>S launched

“Operation Desert Storm and Iraq and its people. It’s crazy to see how we just went to War with

them over oil and unleashed on the poor country. Even though Kuwait was oil rich country but it

had some laws. Women had no right and men were in charge. It’s just a country were men were

only in control and will always be right no matter what happens to them. Although, America had

send 88,000.00 tons of bombs into Iraqi people and many places were not even targets and they

just were hit on homes and it didn’t matter who lived in the homes. I just feel it’s wrong that

many people say that it was a lie that they had a locations were the bombs were going but many

says it’s a lie. But what about the soldiers that were also injured and many of them died or were

hurt. Did U>S> think about bombing that country that many people will get hurt for no reason

but because they wanted to start a war. But there is no really proof of Saddam Hussein used

weapons of his invasion in Kuwait. But I guess its up to who had the details and went along with

it.
