Dublin Core

Title

Description

The 1990-1991 Gulf War saw an international coalition of 26 states led by United States against an aggressor state, Iraq. This paper examines the circumstances leading to the war, the conduct of war and derive lessons from it. The lessons learnt are categorised under political, economic, social and military/operational dimensions. The 1990-1991 Gulf War demonstrated that aggression against a weak neighbour like Kuwait does not pay and there is the willingness of the international community to collectively use force to evict and punish the aggressor state. The Gulf War also demonstrated a typical textbook conventional warfare enhanced with technological superiority, high quality training and logistic support which provided success and victory to the coalition forces.
