Second Persian Gulf War (Ortu Stella)

The Second Persian Gulf War was a major conflict in the Middle East that involved the clashing of Iraq and Kuwait, supported by their respective allies. This conflict was a major build-up to the post-war Iraqi Civil War.
The build-up to this war was the decrease of relations between Iraq and Kuwait, with increased border patrolling in the Iraqi-Kuwaiti border. 3 days later, a Kuwaiti soldier kills 2 Iraqi soldiers in border-patrol duty, which was thought to be staged by the Iraqi's in order to consolidate control over the Persian Gulf. Iraq declared war after the incident. Days later, the United States would formally intervene to protect interest in the Middle East.
Iraq, surrounding Kuwait on 3 sides, launches a 3 proned full-scale invasion, attacking from the south, the north, and the east. However, U.S reinforcements commenced landings in Kuwait, and initiated bombing rates over major supply areas in Iraq. After that, the U.S capitalized these efforts, and began an assault on Iraqi-controlled areas inside of Kuwait, hoping to recapture the land and begin the Iraqi invasion.
