Explanation:
In early August 1990; Iraqi’s leader Saddam Hussein ordered the invasion and occupation of its neighbor Kuwait in what would lead to the first Gulf war and an American led coalition called Operation desert storm followed. Early on the morning of January 17, 1991, a massive U.S.-led air offensive hit Iraq’s air defenses, moving swiftly on to its communications networks, weapons plants, oil refineries and more.
After 42 days of constant bombardment of Iraqi forces by the allied forces, the United states declared a cease-fire due to major surrender from the Iraqi forces.
Though the war was successful on the part of the allied forces, Kuwait and Iraq suffered enormous damage, Saddam Hussein (The leader of Iraq) was forced out of power, Hussein’s forces brutally suppressed uprisings by Kurds in the north of Iraq and Shi’ites in the south. The United States-led coalition failed to support the uprisings, afraid that the Iraqi state would be dissolved if they succeeded. In the years that followed, U.S. and British aircraft continued to patrol skies and mandate a no-fly zone over Iraq, while Iraqi authorities made every effort to frustrate the carrying out of the peace terms, especially United Nations weapons inspections. This resulted in a brief resumption of hostilities in 1998, after which Iraq steadfastly refused to admit weapons inspectors. In addition, Iraqi force regularly exchanged fire with U.S. and British aircraft over the no-fly zone, which lead to the US demanding Saddam Hussein stepped aside as leader of the Country which he refused and was ousted, tried and executed by the US.
