The Gulf War, or Persian Gulf War, was a conflict in 1991, between Iraq and 34 other countries, led by the United States. It started with the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq on August 2, 1990 and ended the following spring when Iraq's armies were fought away. Many of the problems caused by this war were never resolved. There were 2 special operations: Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm. Operation Desert Storm started on January 17, 1991 with an air strike. The war ended on February 28, 1991.
