"Operation Desert Storm" was a military campaign launched in January 1991 to liberate Kuwait from Iraqi forces. After Iraq, led by Saddam Hussein, invaded Kuwait in August 1990, a coalition of countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, and several Arab nations, came together to respond. The operation began with a massive air assault, targeting Iraqi military positions and infrastructure. Following weeks of aerial bombardment, coalition ground forces launched their offensive in late February 1991. The swift and decisive action led to the liberation of Kuwait in just 100 hours of ground combat. Operation Desert Storm showcased the effectiveness of modern military technology and coalition warfare.
