SUMMARY:Liberation of Kuwait City
DESCRIPTION:The liberation of Kuwait City occurred between February 24 and 28\, 1991\, during the Gulf War. After Iraq\, led by Saddam Hussein\, invaded Kuwait on August 2\, 1990\, to seize its oil reserves\, a U.S.-led coalition responded with a large-scale air campaign followed by a ground offensive involving 650\,000 troops from 42 nations. Within three days\, coalition forces reclaimed Kuwait City\, fully liberating the country by the end of February. The campaign concluded with a ceasefire after a swift 100-hour advance into Iraq. The Gulf War’s victory set a precedent for modern military operations and introduced live news coverage of war. Kuwait annually commemorates its liberation on Liberation Day. \nLearn More: \n\n25 Year Reflection (2016): Army.mil\nArmy Reservists: Firsthand Accounts\nHistorical Footage: Firsthand Accounts: C-SPAN\nLiberation of Kuwait: Wikipedia Entry\nMichael Corcoran: Firsthand Account\n\nSupport is Available\nReflecting on the significant battles in U.S. history can evoke strong emotions.
