Operation Desert Storm began in August of 1991. August 8, was when the United States’ soldiers actually pushed through to Kuwait and Iraq. Also on this date, Hussein declared that he was annexing Kuwait as part of Iraq. Previously, Hussein had been trying to set up a government in Kuwait that thoroughly supported Iraq and all of its views. This was obviously too much for Hussein to handle because Kuwait would still be a separate nation from Iraq, and it would be harder for Hussein to control, even if he d

Operation Desert Storm was treated as an intervention between Iraq and Kuwait so that Iraq would not gain control of Kuwait. Operation Iraqi Freedom, on the other hand was treated as an all out war against Iraq and Saddam Hussein. It may have been because of this different treatment that The United States was actually able to capture Saddam Hussein.

The war began on March 19, 2003 with the bombing of Iraq being undertaken by the U.S. During this war there were many small battles between the U.S. and Iraq, but these battles were only small battles. There were no really big battles because the Iraqis were playing “hit and run” games. This means that they made small attacks on the U.S. forces, and then ran so they could perform many more of these small skirmishes. There were also many car-bombings that took place not only around U.S. forces, but also in embassies. This war was declared to be over on April 15, 2003 when Saddam Hussein’s hometown of Tikrit was taken over by Coalition forces. Even though the war was declared to be over, the fighting continued, and the war finally ended when Saddam Hussein was captured by Coalition forces on April 17, 2003 (Lee).
