The document summarizes the Gulf War that began in January 1991 when stealth fighters bombed targets in Iraq in response to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. It provides background on Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and the Ba'ath party. A timeline details key events starting with Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in August 1990 and the US deployment of troops to Saudi Arabia to protect it. The air war began on January 17, 1991 and the ground war started on February 24, 1991, ending on April 6, 1991 when Iraq accepted UN resolutions.
