The war waged during George H.W. Bush's presidency against Iraq was the Gulf War, also known as Operation Desert Storm. It began in August 1990 when Iraq, led by President Saddam Hussein, invaded Kuwait. The United Nations quickly condemned the invasion and imposed economic sanctions on Iraq, demanding that Iraqi forces withdraw from Kuwait.
In January 1991, after Iraq failed to comply with the UN's demands, a coalition of forces led by the United States launched Operation Desert Storm, a military campaign aimed at liberating Kuwait. The operation began with a heavy aerial bombardment followed by a ground offensive that commenced in late February 1991. The coalition forces, which included troops from various countries, successfully liberated Kuwait within a matter of weeks, leading to a ceasefire on February 28, 1991.
The Gulf War was noted for its high-tech warfare and the effective use of precision bombing, and it significantly shaped U.S. foreign policy and military strategy in the years that followed.
