The Persian Gulf War, also known as the Gulf War, was a brief but significant conflict that began with Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990. A coalition of 35 countries, led by the United States, responded swiftly, resulting in Operation Desert Storm. The war ended in early 1991 with a decisive victory for the coalition. Despite its short duration, the war had lasting impacts, including economic sanctions on Iraq, regional instability, and health issues among veterans.
