Norman Schwarzkopf gives one of his famous
Gulf War Briefings Gulf
War Pictures and
Images Amid
growing tension between the two Persian
Gulf neighbors, Saddam Hussein
concluded that the United States and
the rest of the outside world would not
interfere to defend Kuwait. On August
2, 1990, Iraqi forces invaded Kuwait
and quickly seized control of the small
nation. Within days, the United States,
along with the United Nations, demanded
Iraq's immediate withdrawal. U.S. and
other UN member nations began deploying
troops in Saudi Arabia within the week,
and the world-wide coalition began to
form under UN authority. By
January of 1991, over half a million
allied troops were deployed in Saudi
Arabia and throughout the Gulf region.
Intense diplomacy between U.S. and
Iraqi officials failed to bring an
Iraqi withdrawal, so, on January 16,
1991, Allied forces began the
devastating bombing of Iraq and her
forces in Kuwait. Below
are pictures and images of the 1991
