Persian Gulf War aka PGW aka Gulf war aka Iraq war aka The War to End all Wars.... scratch that last one anyways it was Iraq's troops invading Kuwait on August 2 1990. The U.S. sent troops to Saudi Arabia and also other nations did aswell to defend the invasion. it was George H. W. Busch in command that sent the troops. The invasoin was inevitable Iraq being an Ally of soviet Union during the cold war they were at the time in a economic crunch with oil prices plummeting down, and Kuwait drilling sideways across the border into their territory the was to much and the IRaq govt went on with the invasion. Common operation Desert Storm and Desert Shield storm was the offensive attack and Sheild was to make sure that Iraq troops would not attack Saudi Arabia oil fields. When American troops moved the Iraq troops out IRaq went out burning all the oil fields that way nothin could be used. clean up took nearly 1 year.
I think that we could of done a better job cleaning up Iraq by that i mean go into Iraq then and fix the problem instead we stayed over there forever and were are still in the middle east today. But ultimetly we fought for peace go USA
