PERSIAN GULF WAR, 1990–1991

Color shading differentiates Iraq, UN coalition members, and neutral countries; arrows show the directions of UN ground assaults and the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait; and symbols indicate UN bomb or missile strikes, UN fleet locations, UN air fields, UN ground forces, and Iraqi missile strikes, nuclear plants, and weapons factories. One inset at the bottom shows from what sources the U.S. imported oil in 1989, and the other has a chart comparing the UN coalition versus Iraq in terms of troops, aircraft, missiles, and tanks.
