（Personal opinion, only for reference）
The Gulf War after World War II most belligerent, one-time to send troops to the largest investment in most weapons the most advanced and largest air strikes, fighting and an unprecedented intensity and the development of extraordinarily rapid loss of another great disparity in casualties on both sides of a modern high-tech Local war. While fighting lasted only 43 days, but it provides a number of local wars of modern fresh experiences and lessons. Especially since a large number of high-tech weapons systems for operational use and display the "military technical revolution" is more of concern to countries in the world of military theorists, it has triggered people with new ways of thinking to look at a modern local war theories, laws and operational guidance method. Gulf War and the future high-tech war in a peep-hole.
First, the reasons for the outbreak of war and background
The outbreak of any war has its specific causes and background. The main reason leading to the outbreak of the Gulf War and the background are:
(A) Iraq invasion and occupation of Kuwait
At 1 o'clock on August 2, 1990 (Kuwait time), the Air Force, Navy, amphibious forces and special operations forces in close support and cooperation of the Iraqi Republican Guard in three divisions across the Kuwaiti border to Kuwait, launched a sudden attack on . From a mechanized infantry division and an armored division compiled the main attack force along the Safwan - Abdali - Kuwait City, the implementation of the axis of attack, more than 350 tanks under the guidance of the first captured Jiahe December south Yamaguchi, and then folded towards the attack on Kuwait City. Matched by an armored division assists woven force, main attack troops attacked south west, in Jiahe December Yamaguchi joined forces with the main attack, the continued south, in the main thoroughfare leading to the Saudi border to establish blocking positions. 5:30, main attack forces and special operations forces in Kuwait City to join. After about 14 hours of urban combat, 7 pm, the Iraqi army completely occupied the capital of Kuwait. Followed by the continued development of attack, steady flow of follow-on force to enter Kuwait. August 3 at noon throughout the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait. From August 6 to enter the Iraqi army in Kuwait to reach about 20 million people, tanks and more than 2,000 vehicles. August 8, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein declared that the annexation of Kuwait, to classify it as Iraq's "19th province" and said it "will always be an integral part of Iraq."
Kuwait is too weak, coupled with the surprise attack on the Iraqi military was not prepared, only a weak resistance. KLA some 20,000 people, only more than 5,000 people evacuated to Saudi Arabia, the remaining troops collapsibility or surrender. Kuwaiti Emir Jaber Al-Sabah and some of the Saudi royal family to flee by helicopter.
Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait's main purpose: To seize Kuwait, write off the huge debt owed to Kuwait, and use the "treasury" to solve due to stretching eight-year Iran-Iraq war to the national economy of the serious crisis; seizing of Kuwait, can be 50 kilometers of its coastline from the extended to 213 kilometers, thereby greatly improving its naval activities in the area and oil exports and other foreign trade sea routes; through the annexation of Kuwait, to resolve their longstanding boundary dispute and the resulting problems the border region's oil exploitation dispute; seizing Kuwait, could be "warning to others," shock and awe to play the Gulf countries and other Middle Eastern countries the role of leadership in the Arab world for its contention, clear the way to dominate the Middle East.
Iraqi armed invasion and occupation of Kuwait, triggering the Gulf crisis as a direct trigger the Gulf War.
(B) The United States and other countries in the Gulf region, the interests of
The reason why the Gulf region affects the United States and many other countries of the nerves, mainly in the region has an extremely rich in oil and natural gas of resources. As of January 1990, the Gulf region has proven oil reserves of 6,517 billion barrels, the world's total proven oil reserves (10,015 billion barrels) and 65%, natural gas, 24 trillion cubic meters of natural gas resources of the world's combined 13.7%. Nissan is about 1,450 million barrels of oil, accounting for the world's daily oil production (6,360 million barrels) of 23%; daily exports of about 1,200 million barrels of oil, accounting for the world's daily oil exports (2,800 million barrels) of 43%. Five oil-producing countries in the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Iran and the UAE) are in the Gulf region. The world's 20 mega-fields, there are 11 in the Gulf region.
The Gulf region's oil production mainly for export. The United States, Western Europe, Japan imported oil, a substantial portion comes from the Gulf region. According to the U.S. Energy Information statistics, the United States on the first quarter of 1990, net oil imports amounted to 7.661 million barrels, of which 2.064 million barrels from the Gulf region, accounting for 26.9%; Western Europe 8.235 million barrels per day of imported oil, of which imports of 4.276 million from the Gulf region, barrels, accounting for 51.9%; Japan's 5.48 million barrels of imported oil, of which imports from 3.54 million barrels in the Gulf region, accounting for 64.6%.
Oil is the world's economic development, "blood", but also the driving force of modern armies. If the Iraqi annexation of Kuwait and then occupation of Saudi Arabia, you can control more than half of the world's oil resources, which is like stuck in the throat of the major Western industrial countries. Use the oil weapon in the hands of Saddam Hussein, you can manipulate the economic development of Western industrial countries, and can thus make indiscreet remarks on them. This is the United States and other major industrial countries is absolutely intolerable.
In addition, Kuwait is the world's few rich countries, its foreign assets of more than 1,000 billion U.S. dollars, another important industry in the West still hold up to several billions of dollars of the shares. If these capital and goods have been pulled out of Iraq, but also will result in huge losses in Western economies.
(C) the US-Soviet detente, regional conflicts in the shadow of the US-Soviet confrontation disappeared
After the war more than 40 years time, due to social systems and ideological confrontation, as well as the needs of their supremacy in almost all regions of conflicts, people can see the shadow of the US-Soviet rivalry and antagonism. Gorbachev came to power to implement reforms and new thinking, and actively move closer to the West in the political, military and diplomatic confrontation with the United States to abandon the position. Iraq's move, imperceptibly to further promote contacts between the Soviet Union the United States wishes. While Iraq is the Soviet Union in the Middle East for years, one of the few close allies, but in order to avoid the United States and other Western countries in opposing Iran's stance on the Soviet Union would rather sacrifice in Iraq this past allies. In Iraq, the attitude of the Soviet Union and the United States on the United States President George W. Bush was "very satisfied", saying it was "the US-Soviet conflict in the region for the first time the post-war alliance." The Soviet Union's basic position on the Gulf crisis on the line, so that smooth the UN Security Council sanctions against Iraq through a series of resolutions. Although the Soviet Union to send troops did not directly participate in combat in Iraq, but it was a multinational force the United States sent troops to the Gulf of supportive attitude, so the U.S. can take a variety of military action with impunity.
(D) The international community strongly opposed to aggression
Of international relations has always been a kind of stake. On the first day of Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, U.S. President George W. Bush issued a statement condemning Iraq's actions as "naked aggression" against the U.S. national interest "constitute a real threat," and announced a freeze on Iraq and Kuwait in the United States all the assets. At the same time made a strong military response, two aircraft carrier battle groups in Iraq, less than 1 hour after the invasion that the Division was ordered to sail the Gulf.
The Soviet Union 40 years after the war a changed regional conflicts in the world hold the position with the United States opposing the norm. August 3 Soviet Union reached a consensus and issued a "Joint Statement", demanded that Iraq "unconditionally withdraw from Kuwait", "the full restoration of Kuwait's sovereignty and territorial integrity of the legal regime." This is the U.S. policy objectives in Iraq is fully consistent. On the same day, the Soviet government stopped the supply of arms to Iraq with military assistance.
Rest of the world the vast majority of countries or international organizations to the invasion of Iraq has made a rapid response, the general strongly resisted and condemned Iraq's aggression.
The UN Security Council and Member States on the Gulf crisis of unprecedented very rapidly and almost exactly the same response. August 2, the UN Security Council by 14 votes in favor, 0 votes against and 1 abstention, adopted a condemnation of the Iraqi violation of the Charter to require the withdrawal of the resolution No. 660. From August 2 to November 29, the UN Security Council has passed 12 resolutions of condemnation and sanctions against Iraq. These resolutions, so that Iraq's political, economic, military and diplomatic so in an extremely isolated position. Resolution No. 678 which provides that Iraq must withdraw deadline for January 15, 1991, the deadline to withdraw its troops in Iraq, if not, the resolution authorizes the United Nations Member States could use "all necessary means" to implement the United Nations adopted by the resolutions, which for the US-led 38-nation coalition into the Gulf, using force to resolve the crisis provided a legal basis.
In the "final period" before the arrival of the international community to defuse the crisis made a great effort. Leaders of many countries to mediate, to design a variety of mediation programs, the United Nations Secretary-General has arrived in Baghdad to do the pro-Iraq in the hope that Iraq withdraw its troops from the Division. However, all these efforts have failed to enable Iraq to change its position. War is inevitable
