What is Operation Desert Storm?
Operation Desert Storm or Desert Shield was the liberation of Kuwait from Iraqi forces. It started due to Sadam Hussein's want for oil and money, he accused Kuwait of oil theft from Iraq's oil fields. Iraqi forces invaded Kuwait to take over the oil industry. The US attacked the Iraqi forces to stop them from capturing the oil rigs and becoming the country with the largest oil industry in the world. The Iraqis assaulted many diplomatic missions in Kuwait City. President Bush froze Sadam Hussein's assets and the United Nations called on him to retreat; he did not. All attempts at diplomacy failed, therefore, the US stormed the area with fighter jets, troops, and ships. President Bush ordered a ceasefire on the Iraqis, they formally accepted the United States' terms. The war of Desert Storm ended when the POWs of both sides were released later on.
