Persian Gulf Crisis Consolidated Finding Aid SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE This collection consists of material related to the diplomatic and military response by the United States (as part of a multi- national force) to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on August 2, 1990. The first part of the intervention, Operation Desert Shield, took place between September 1990 and January 1991. During this operation the U.S. and a coalition of other nations committed forces to protect Saudi Arabia from further Iraqi aggression. The military campaign to drive Iraq out of Kuwait, Operation Desert Storm, commenced on January 16, 1991, immediately following the expiration of a UN Security Council Resolution demanding the unconditional withdrawal of Iraqi forces. The WHORM Subject File Countries categories of CO072 and CO083 contain documents concerning Iraq and Kuwait, respectively. Most of the material in these categories concerns Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. Another large segment related to this subject is WHORM Subject File National Defense ND016 (Wars–Conflicts). A significant amount of material responsive to this FOIA is contained in the files of the National Security Council (NSC). Although these files are listed, it should be noted that most of these documents are security classified and have been closed under the restrictions of the Presidential Records Act and the Freedom of Information Act. These documents deal with topics such as the inspection and elimination of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction; diplomatic efforts to create the Gulf Coalition; US policy towards Iraq prior to the conflict; US efforts to assist Kurdish refugees, and military operations in the Persian Gulf Theatre. Incidentally processed material relates to post-war events, such as Desert Storm Homecoming celebrations, the Kurdish and refugee situations, the rebuilding of Kuwait, foreign nations financial contributions, and reports to Congress. Please note that an "*" indicates that the collection is entirely processed and open. A more detailed description of the materials is available in the finding aid for the office or category.
