The United States led a worldwide coalition in a show of force against the country of Iraq after Iraq invaded and occupied the tiny nation of Kuwait in 1990. Following a breakdown of diplomatic negotiations, the US military and her allies went to war for the first time in 16 years in the defense of an allied nation.
