Nations started the gulf war. Iraq\u2019s leader, Saddam Hussein, invaded Kuwait to take control of oil reserves and cancel Iraq\u2019s debts owned by Kuwait.<br \/>Iraq\u2019s invasion of Kuwait resulted in controlling over 40% of the world\u2019s oil reserves and creating disputes in production. The crisis was post-cold war, and the US responded by gathering troops trained for many years.<br \/>The tension heightened when Iraq increased its hostility towards its debtors and threatened Saudi Arabia for exceeding the agreed oil exports by OPEC. First, United Nations established resolution 661, which banned trade with Iraq.<br \/>Rumours of war from Iraq resulted in creating code-name \u2018operation desert shield\u2019 in 1992, which sanctioned military forces to defend Dubai and force Saddam Hussein from Kuwait.<br \/>With Iraq\u2019s military already in Saudi Arabia, the United States sent troops to Saudi\u2019s defence. The US army was lightly equipped, but they deterred Saddam from attacking Saudi Arabia, which was poignant in instigating a war between Iraq and the US and its allies.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b8d772e elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b8d772e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c2bc6d2 elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"c2bc6d2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;slideInLeft&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b4b164 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5b4b164\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Iraq and the US had military personnel and experience, which resulted in the United States carrying out one of the largest deployments and allied troops in history since World War II.<br \/>The US, UK, France, and Canada are among several countries that committed troops and weapons to support Operation Desert Shield to save Kuwait.<br \/>The beginning of the war to eject Iraq from Kuwait started with naval and aerial attacks in 1991 and continued for the next five weeks. While the air offensive was ongoing, the naval was operating the gulf to deter Iraq\u2019s army from running around the coastal area to clear Iraq\u2019s submarines. The plan was to attack the enemy from all regions.<br \/>By February of 1991, the coalition military had reduced the threat of Iraq in the sea mines. However, continued attacks on US troops resulted in many casualties.<br \/>Coalition attacks defended Kuwait by taking back at least six divisions around the coastline.<br \/>The battle recognised the effectiveness of the air attack to halt the Iraqi military. As a result, more air attacks were assigned to work with grounded and navy forces to defeat Iraq. Several attacks resulted in the surrender of the Iraqi army.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-25a34d7 elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"25a34d7\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;slideInRight&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4643d27 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4643d27\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/militaryodyssey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/DSC04708-scaled-1.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4cd19eb elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4cd19eb\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c2d209b elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"c2d209b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;slideInLeft&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-45e4c19 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"45e4c19\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/militaryodyssey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/American-Civil-War-M.O.-2023-copyright_-44-scaled-2.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2d59115 elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"2d59115\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;slideInRight&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f18a84 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4f18a84\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Operation Restore hope 1992- 1993<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f43ac12 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"f43ac12\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5eddad elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d5eddad\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Operation Restore Hope was established to restore humanitarian in Somalia, where US troops found their way into war-torn Somalia for peacekeeping duties.<br \/>Several Somalis were living in starvation after years of civil war.
