Did The Gulf War took place in 1991?

Answer 1

General Answer

The Persian Gulf War of 1990-1991, which is also known as the Gulf War, the 2nd Gulf War, Desert Shield / Storm, and Operation Granby (The official British military designation) commenced in two distinct stages.

The war first began between Iraq and Kuwait on August 2, 1990, when Iraq invaded Kuwait. However, the international community did not militarily intervene until the UN Coalition was assembled and launched its first airstrikes on January 17, 1991.

Other Recent "Iraq Wars"

However, it is worth noting that there have been a number of wars involving Iraq in recent history in addition to the Persian Gulf War of 1990-1991.

The Iran-Iraq War of 1980-1988 (also commonly known as the Gulf War or Persian Gulf War until the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1991) commenced on the 22nd of September, 1980 when Iraq invaded Iran.

The Iraq War of 2003-2011 officially commenced on March 20, 2003, when the US-led coalition landed troops in Iraq. It has a myriad of different names by which it is commonly known such as: the Second Persian Gulf War (in some places in the West), the Third Persian Gulf War (in some places in the Middle East), the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Operation Telic (official British military designation), and Operation Iraqi Freedom (US Military designation).

The Iraqi Insurgency of 2011-Present has been a number of wars between the Iraqi government with the support of the Kurdish Peshmerga against Sunni Arab and/or Shiite Arab militias. With the recent (2014) successes of ISIL, a Sunni militia in western Iraq, the war will like continue for many more years.
August 1, 1990, with the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq, and it ended in February of 1991.
There were three Gulf Wars (20th & 21st century):

1. Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) August 2nd 1980 - February 28th 1981

2. Operation Desert Storm (Jan/Feb 1991) August 2nd 1990 - February 28th 1991

3. Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003- )
The Iran-Iraq War 1980-1988 was called the Gulf War. After Operation Desert Storm in January 1991, journalists liked the name "Gulf War" better, and transferred the Iran-Iraq Gulf War title to Desert Storm...the word "War" sells better than "Operation." So now people are confused. To avoid becoming a victim of journalism marketing; just stick to the facts: 1. Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) 2. Operation Desert Storm (Jan/Feb 1991, less than 60 days) 3. Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003- )
started in 1990 and ended in January 1991
