Descripción:

This was the first major crisis for the United States after the Cold War ended. Saddam Hussein ordered his army across the border into Kuwait. This was not an ordinary act of aggression. The United States had provided massive military aid to Iraq during their eight-year war with Iran, giving them the fourth largest army in the world.
