Operation Desert Storm - a critical review

Pre-University Paper from the year 2005 in the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 13, Goetheschule Hannover, language: English, abstract: This research paper is about 'Operation Desert Storm.' A war which took place in 1991 between Iraq and the allied troops of the United Nations Organization (UNO) under the command of the US Army after Iraqi troops had conquered Kuwait. The second chapter is about the war itself and the origin of the conflict between Kuwait and Iraq. It also deals with the question of why the USA intervened and includes a short summary of the development of the war. The chapters 2.2.2, 2.2.3 and 2.2.4 detail the role of the UNO, an interesting point in this war. The third chapter is about the disinformation of the public before and during the war. This topic is still not largely known about and is also very ongoing. It contains a detailed description of the pool system and its origin. It also shows how Kuwait became popular in the USA and gives an exact view on the 'Incubator Incident' in 3.3.1. The topic about the conflict at the Gulf is still up to date, especially since resistance against the American forces in Iraq after the 3rd Gulf War is still growing today. Because of the immense size of the topic, this work shall not be a summary of the war but a work that gives an insight into certain aspects of this war, in particular the role of the UNO in the second chapter and the disinformation of the public in the third chapter.
