| The Gulf War (1990–1991) was a conflict between Iraq and a coalition force of approximately 20 nations led by the United States and mandated by the United Nations in order to liberate Kuwait. The war began with the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on August 2, 1990, following Iraqi contentions that Kuwait was illegally slant-drilling petroleum across Iraq’s border. The invasion was met with immediate economic sanctions by the United Nations against Iraq. Hostilities commenced on 17/01/1991 and ended on 28/02/1991. | ||
