The gulf war lasted approximately seven months. The war started in the month of August 1990 and lasted till February 28, 1991.
The reason of the war was quite simple and it started with the Iraq's invasion of Kuwait on August 2,1990. Iraq's view was that Kuwait was drilling oil from its territory through slant drilling.
Immediately after the invasion, the UNO brought sanctions against Iraq. And a coalition of 20 nations was formed to resist the illegal invasion. The coalition forces attacked Iraq in January making its base in neighbouring countries like Saudi Arabia. Iraq also fired missiles on Israel but it had to bow down against the mighty coalition forces which were quite superior in their aerial power.
