Can anyone give me a brief overview of the warring sides and the timing of the wars in the Gulf War

Gulf War, January 17, 1991 February 28, if it starts with Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, it will be August 90, the two warring parties are Iraq and the multinational force (led by the United States), because the Security Council passed, so the USA can use UN, it is called the multinational force, and China abstained (China generally abstained). The Iraq War broke out on March 20, 2003, and it is difficult to say how it ended, but there are different accounts, because the Security Council did not approve it, this time it was called a joint force, mainly with the United States and Britain as the main forces, and the other side was, of course, Iraq, the Gulf War was launched by Bush Sr., and the Iraq War was launched by Bush Jr.

Gulf War] Gulf War, January 17, 1991 On February 28, the U.S.-led multinational coalition waged a war against Iraq under the authority of the United Nations Security Council to restore the territorial integrity of Kuwait.

The bay, or short for the Persian Gulf, is located in central Western Asia. The countries surrounding the Gulf are the world's main oil-producing areas and have a prominent strategic position. In August 1990, the Gulf War, the largest local war in the post-war period, broke out in the region.

This war had a profound impact on the establishment of a new international order after the Cold War, and at the same time, the new situation and new characteristics of operations under modern high-tech conditions displayed by it have brought many enlightenments to military strategy, campaign tactics, and army building.

Iraq War].

The Iraq War, also known as the U.S.-Iraq War, was a full-scale war launched by the United States because of Iraq's possession of mass destruction** (suspected), with a total of four countries participating in the war. Some commentators believe that it can be regarded as the second Gulf War, but a detailed analysis shows that it cannot be called "Gulf World War II". Here's why:

The main battlefield in the Gulf War was not Iraq itself. During the Gulf War, the United States was authorized by the United Nations. In the Iraq War, the United Nations repeatedly refused to adopt resolutions on the United States to go to war, but the United States bypassed the United Nations and directly launched the war.

On 20 March 2003, a coalition of forces, led by the United States and the United Kingdom, formally declared war on Iraq. Australian and Polish troops were also involved in the joint military operation. The military operation began after the expiration of the ultimatum issued by George W. Bush to Saddam Hussein in Iraq to leave Iraq within 48 hours.

The combined forces consist of 120,000 U.S. troops, 45,000 British troops, 2,000 Australian troops, and 200 Polish troops, in addition to about 50,000 Iraqi rebels. They formally launched a military strike against Iraq through a US military base stationed in Kuwait and were supported by a large number of air-based and sea-based aviation units in the Gulf region.

Because the Iraq War was originally fought in the Gulf, but it has already been the first time that the war has been fought in the Gulf, so this time it is called the second Gulf War.

This is because some countries act as the world's policemen and promote power politics and hegemonism, which is why they have such a title.

Because this war led to the continuation of the Gulf War, it was only a unilateral military attack on Iraq, so it has such a title.

1. The First Gulf War took place on January 17, 1991 and ended on February 28, 1991.

On 2 August 1990, Iraqi forces invaded Kuwait, overthrew Kuwait** and announced the annexation of Kuwait. The United States-led multinational force, with a United Nations mandate, began its military offensive against Iraqi forces on 17 January 1991.

The main battles consisted of 42 days of air strikes and 100 hours of land fighting along the border between Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. The multinational force won a decisive victory at a relatively small cost, inflicting heavy losses on the Iraqi army.

2. The Second Gulf War took place on March 20, 2003, and a small number of troops still remain.

In this war, the United States only took less than 30 days to reach the capital of Iraq, and later the American army executed Saddam Hussein and his family during the years of occupation in Iraq.

This is the first military comparison chart between the two sides of the Gulf War, with orange representing Iraq and blue representing the US coalition forces.

Since the end of World War II, there has never been so many countries united against such a small force. In fact, before the war began, Iraq's morale had already suffered a major blow. At this time, Iraq had just taken a breather from the eight-year war with neighboring Iran, and three years after the end of the Iran-Iraq war, poor Iraq had nothing to produce, only mountains full of stones and corpses everywhere.

Suddenly, they're being forced into battle again, and they're on a much stronger opponent than before, including the most powerful nations in the world. Iraq did not have any allies, the Soviet Union and its federation would not intervene, and in the Middle East, there were a whole host of countries that were working against Iraq.

In addition, there is a huge disparity in technology. There were also tank wars in the Gulf War, but American tanks were almost unscathed, because American tanks had thermal imaging systems, and Iraq's: none.

Most of Iraq's ** comes from airstrikes. The US aerial bombardment was extremely lethal, and for this reason, Saddam even executed the military commander in charge of air defense.

Because he didn't catch Saddam Hussein for the first time, he just beat his troops who invaded Kuwait and beat him to pieces, but Saddam Hussein still retains power and still does his **. In the first Gulf War, Bush Sr. did not want to destroy Iraq. At that time, Iraq was one of the two major powers in the Middle East, and it was in confrontation with Iran, so the United States still retained Saddam's regime to prevent Iran from becoming a monopoly.

But George W. Bush is a dumbfounded cowboy who completely wiped out Iraq all at once, so now it is chaotic and the situation in the Middle East is out of balance. So the United States is embarrassed, Iran is happy.

Why did Iraq lose so quickly in the Gulf War? It's not that the U.S. military is too strong, and the combatants tell the truth.
