Desert Storm: The Gulf War

When Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in the summer of 1990, he didn't anticipate a massive international backslash and unanimous Security Council response.

Soon a broad military coalition under leadership of the United States assembled and kicked the Iraqi Army out of Kuwait.

In the aftermath several Iraqi groups rose up against Saddam but the coalition didn't support a regime change.
