Desert Storm

Desert Storm was a military operation that took place in 1991 during the Gulf War. It was launched by a coalition of countries led by the United States to expel Iraqi forces from Kuwait, which Iraq had invaded in 1990. The campaign began with extensive air strikes, followed by a ground assault that quickly liberated Kuwait. This operation demonstrated modern warfare tactics and the effectiveness of coalition forces working together. Desert Storm concluded with a decisive victory for the coalition, but it also set the stage for ongoing tensions in the Middle East.
