In 1990, Saddam Hussein’s Iraq invaded its neighbor, Kuwait. Several months later an American-led military coalition waged a brief war to reverse the invasion. Though greatly overshadowed by subsequent events, especially the 2003 Iraq War, the 1990-91 Persian Gulf War remains a pivot point of recent world history. In this video, we’ll go very deep to explain the context, background, causes, political issues, and aftermath of this highly important conflict, and why it still matters.
