Is a very good summary. Post your thoughts on the conflict and compromises and we will be happy to critique it.
well im pretty sure of the conflict part,the compromise is what I am having a hard time finding.
The Gulf War was between Iraq and 35 nations which were all controlled and authorized by the United Nations. Kuwait and Iraq were mostly involved in the war fighting from the air then came back to Iraq's soil.
The compromise was that the UN forces devasted the IRAQ forces in the area, but chose not to continue to devistate the entire IRAQI military and government.
The conflict started after Kuwait dumped a lot of oil onto the world market, in defiance of OPEC quotas, which collapsed the IRAQ economy...and, it was discovered, was doing slant drilling along the border into IRAQI oil fields. IRAQ invaded, and the war was on.
The main event in the war was the ill trained and maintained IRAQ army, it totally failed to engage the enemy, and its weapons, especially air defense, were ill suited to the match.
I would like to point out that this war was caused by stealing oil, and using oil as an economic weapon. I am reminded of other wars that were unfinished, and errupted again. Texans like to brag they won their independence at the Battle of San Jacinto, but in fact, it was won in the next war....and California was thrown in as booty.

The Persian Gulf War, which was fought between Iraq and a coalition of countries led by the United States, involved a conflict over territorial disputes and a compromise to resolve the crisis.
The conflict in the Persian Gulf War was primarily triggered by Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in August 1990. Iraq claimed that Kuwait was historically a part of its territory and accused Kuwait of stealing its oil by overproducing and failing to repay war debts. This invasion posed a direct threat to the stability and security of the region, particularly to Saudi Arabia, which was a key ally of the United States and a major oil supplier. The international community condemned Iraq's aggression and perceived it as a violation of international law.
In response to Iraq's invasion, a coalition led by the United States launched Operation Desert Storm in January 1991 to liberate Kuwait and restore its independence. The war lasted for six weeks and involved extensive air strikes and ground operations. The coalition forces successfully pushed back Iraqi troops and eventually liberated Kuwait.
Regarding the compromise aspect, there were diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict before resorting to military action. The United Nations (UN) played a crucial role in seeking a peaceful settlement. Immediately after Iraq's invasion, the UN Security Council passed a series of resolutions condemning the invasion and demanding Iraq's immediate withdrawal from Kuwait. These resolutions also imposed economic sanctions on Iraq to increase diplomatic pressure.
Throughout the conflict, various diplomatic initiatives were undertaken to encourage Iraq to withdraw from Kuwait peacefully. These efforts included negotiations, diplomatic missions, and the involvement of regional and international mediators. However, Iraq's leader, Saddam Hussein, remained defiant and refused to comply with the UN resolutions.
The compromise aspect of the Persian Gulf War can be seen in the diplomatic efforts to find a peaceful solution and the subsequent ceasefire agreement. Once the coalition forces achieved their military objectives and liberated Kuwait, diplomatic negotiations resumed to find a resolution to the conflict. These negotiations eventually led to a ceasefire agreement in April 1991. The terms of the ceasefire included a formal Iraqi recognition of Kuwait's sovereignty, the establishment of demilitarized zones along the Iraq-Kuwait border, and the implementation of UN weapons inspections to ensure Iraq's disarmament.
In summary, the conflict of the Persian Gulf War emerged from Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, while the compromise was seen in the international efforts to seek a peaceful resolution and the subsequent ceasefire agreement.
