George H.W. Bush (Rescue Operation)

The George H.W. Bush Rescue Operation, also known as the 1990-1991 Gulf War, was a military campaign initiated by a coalition led by the United States to liberate Kuwait from Iraqi occupation. After Iraq invaded Kuwait in August 1990, President George H.W. Bush authorized a combination of diplomatic efforts and a military response. The operation involved deploying large-scale military forces including air strikes and a ground assault to defeat Iraqi troops. The campaign successfully freed Kuwait in February 1991, restoring its sovereignty and demonstrating the U.S. leadership in global security efforts.
