US Presence in SW Asia Notes 1 UN Embargo Desert Storm Kuwait U.S. Presence This process began in 1991, and when the UN inspection team left in 1998, there was speculation that only 85% had actually been destroyed. The UN would not lift the embargo until Iraq destroyed its chemical and biological weapons and promised to stop making nuclear weapons. When Iraq invaded Kuwait, the United Nations imposed an embargo that prevented Iraq from exporting oil or importing goods. Both Iraq and Kuwait were badly damaged during the war. Iraq left, but not before Saddam Hussein had his soldiers set nearly 1,000 oil fields on fire, causing immense environmental damage. By February of 1991, the Iraqi government agreed to a truce and withdrew from Kuwait. The coalition employed missile attacks and used ground forces to quickly drive Iraqi forces out of Kuwait in just six weeks. In January 1991, the United States and a group of other countries started “Operation Desert Storm”, a military mission to recapture Kuwait. The US was concerned about this invasion, as a lot of the country’s oil came from Kuwait & Saudi Arabia. In order to survive the attack, the small country of Kuwait knew it would need allies. Iraqi forces invaded Kuwait in August 1990. Saddam Hussein, Iraq’s dictator, wanted to get this access back and to acquire access to Kuwait’s many oil fields. As a result, Iraq lost its access to the Persian Gulf. In 1920, the country of Kuwait was created. Beginning in the late 20th century, the US has had a major presence in this area of the world. The United States has great interest in maintaining stability in Southwest Asia to safeguard the supply of oil and to combat terrorism. © Brain Wrinkles US Presence in SW Asia Notes 1

In 2003, the United States, Great Britain, Australia, & other countries launched a military invasion of Iraq called “Operation Iraqi Freedom”.
