Location of Desert Storm


Where was Desert Storm?


Desert Storm took place out in the Middle East, in many different countries. The war started in Kuwait, when Iraq invaded, but moved also moved to many bordering countries as well. The locations changed to Saudi Arabia, Iran, and even the air above them all. Most of the fighting was in the air, it started when U.S. jets were sent to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, they were involved in many dog fights and bombings in that area. Also, U.S. ships sailed into the Persian Gulf to provide naval support, shortly after that, the ground battle started. Much fighting took place in Kuwait, but other battles raged in Saudi Arabia. Like one instance when a SCUD missile was launched at a U.S. encampment, killing 27 people. Even before we pushed the Iraqis back to Iraq, we had fought there already. Bombers had bombed many locations, like a bunker in Baghdad, which killed over several hundred civilians. The ground forces ended up knocking the Iraqi forces bak into Iraq before they accepted the ceasefire and the fighting finally ended.
