Operation Desert Storm was part of which conflict?

• A. World War II
• B. Gulf War
• C. Korean War
• D. Vietnam War

Answer: (B)

Operation Desert Storm is the combat phase of the Gulf War. In 1990 Iraq invaded Kuwait, and a U.S.-led coalition launched Desert Storm in early 1991 to drive Iraqi forces out and liberate Kuwait. This distinguishes it from other 20th‑century wars that involved different dates, theaters, and goals—World War II (1939–1945), the Korean War (1950–1953), and the Vietnam War (roughly late 1950s–1975). Desert Storm specifically refers to the Gulf War’s air campaign and later ground offensive that secured Kuwait’s liberation.
