Importance of Desert Storm

What made Desert Storm an important piece of history?


The importance of Desert Storm was that countries must band together if it is to stop a greater foe. If Iraq had been able to get the oil from Kuwait, they would have become the world's leading oil supplier. They could have drastically inflated the prices of oil so we would be nearly forced to buy from them and their inflated prices. Many countries such as England, Britain, and France joined The U.S. in the attack on the Middle East. The ability to work together was the major lesson that needed to be learned in the entire war. If counties can all find a common threat, there is no problem in joining to take that threat out. Almost 30 countries joined together for Desert Storm against Iraq, they did not stand a chance. Also, a good lesson is that if you are going to stage an offence agianst another country, make sure you have allies. Iraq went in alone when we went into the battle with so many allies that Iraq ccould not lay a finger on Kuwait's oil. Big lessons like joining other countries is what the wars really need to show instead of new enemies.
