The Daily Mail explains the overwhelming victory of Operation Desert Storm.
“When Saddam Hussein ordered the Iraqi army to invade Kuwait in 1990, America vowed to lead a global coalition to push him back. What followed was one of the most comprehensive victories in military history, where age-old tactics and modern technology combined to crush Saddam’s army in just 100 hours of combat. In doing so, America established itself as the world’s lone superpower and helped define how modern wars would be fought.”
