Operation Desert Storm (17 January 1991 – 28 February 1991) was a war waged by forces from 34 nations led by the United States against Iraq in response to Iraq's invasion and annexation of Kuwait.
Countries that were involved in Desert Storm
The war was really a show about how strong all the western countries are together, during the entire war the coalition lost 292 men, whist the Iraqi forces lost over almost 35000 men. For example during the operation the Englishmen used a tank named Challenger 1, just short while after the war it was developed to Challenger 2, whilst Challenger 1 was one of the best tanks in the world, Challenger 2 is so good that during its entire existence in Afghanistan etc, only one has been destroyed. And what was it destroyed by? Another Challenger 2.
The Iraqi forces used old almost ww2 era tanks, you can imagine what a slaughter it was. The US air force rained shells on them day and night, the armored brigades of the coalition just drove over all resistance.
