The Persian Gulf War And The Arab War

The Persian Gulf War was a quick and easy victory for the United States and other coalition countries. From the time that the Coalition used force against Iraq it only took the coalition a little more than a month to defeat the Iraqi forces. When Operation Desert Storm started Commander H. Norman Schwarzkopf told his troops “My confidence in you is total; our cause is just. Now you must be the thunder and lightning of Desert Storm” (Foster 24). Saddam Hussein became president of Iraq in 1979 (Foster

COMPARE AND CONTRAST THE 1990 GULF WAR TO THE 2003 IRAQ INVASION. DID THE POSITION OF ARAB REGIMES DIFFER? The Gulf War in 1990 and the invasion of Iraq in 2003 both had a profound impact not just on the countries directly involved - primarily Iraq and the United States (US) - but also on the geo-politics of the world. Arguably, the War ended in a stalemate because the Iraqi regime that had started the War by invading Kuwait remained in power. Perhaps inevitably then, in March 2003 the US and its

President Bush stated that the Persian Gulf War was not fully supported by the soldiers who fought in the war. Gulf War veterans marched like Vietnam veterans because they also viewed the war as unjustified. Persian Gulf War veterans would say, “American soldiers lost their lives’ for oil.” The first Persian Gulf War started

What is the Persian Gulf War? “Bang, Bang”. Imagine you are an innocent civilian living in Kuwait. All of a sudden, you are utterly startled by the sound of guns and bombs going off. You are under attack! What would you do if you were this person? This scenario would take place during the Persian Golf War which took place in 1990-1991. Forty two days later, U.S. President George H.W. Bush declared a cease fire. This was pretty unnecessary considering that most of the people who attacked either

that kicked off the Iran-Iraq war, was a predominately wealthy, upper class city with a population of over 200,000 people. The once cosmopolitan city, Khorramshahr, became known as Khuninshahr, the ‘City of Blood’, because of the violent conditions and number of casualties suffered in the city. Most of the Iraq-Iran war took place just inside the borders of both countries and in the Persian Gulf. A truce was called on July 20, 1988 after nearly eight years of war.

Iran-Iraq War The eight year Iran-Iraq War was, by the standards of international conflicts, a very long one. It lasted longer than both World War I and World War II. In this conflict, the two most powerful states in the Persian Gulf, Iran and Iraq, who were the world’s largest producers of petroleum, were locked in mortal combat and appeared intent on destroying each other.

Once Saddam Hussein ordered the invasion of Kuwait

The Middle East has long been home to very deep-rooted conflict. For too long, the citizens of the Middle East have lived in the central of death and fear. The animosity between few, takes the hope of hundreds. The Arab-Israeli-Palestinian conflict is most notably the largest issue preventing peace in the Middle East, but it is by no means the only issue. The issue of bankrolling and foreign aid are also issues preventing peace; because the U.S provides so much funding and foreign aid to certain

which made it the longest conventional war of the 20th century. The consequence of the war cost billions of dollars and millions of lives. The result of the war, although stalemate would be a critical factor that would shape the future of the Middle East. The historical deep-rooted hostile relationship that emanated from the ethnic Arab-Persian and religious Sunni- Shi’ite tensions between the two neighbouring countries contributed to the conditions necessary for war.
