The war is also known under other names, such as the Persian Gulf War, First Gulf War, Gulf War I, Kuwait War, First Iraq War, or Iraq War〔 before the term "Iraq War" became identified instead with the 2003 Iraq War (also referred to in the U.S. as "Operation Iraqi Freedom").〔(Operation Iraqi Freedom: Strategies, Approaches, Results, and Issues for Congress ). (PDF) . Retrieved on 2014-05-24.〕 The Iraqi Army's occupation of Kuwait that began 2 August 1990 was met with international condemnation, and brought immediate economic sanctions against Iraq by members of the U.N. Security Council. U.S. President George H. W. Bush deployed U.S. forces into Saudi Arabia and urged other countries to send their own forces to the scene. An array of nations joined the Coalition, the largest military alliance since World War II. The great majority of the Coalition's military forces were from the U.S., with Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom and Egypt as leading contributors, in that order. Saudi Arabia paid around US$36 billion of the US$60 billion cost. The war was marked by the introduction of live news broadcasts from the front lines of the battle, principally by the U.S. network CNN.〔, access on 29 March 2011.〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Livraria da Folha – Livro conta como Guerra do Golfo colocou a CNN no foco internacional – 08/09/2010 )〕〔(A Guerra do Golfo ), accessed on 29 March 2011〕 The war has also earned the nickname ''Video Game War'' after the daily broadcast of images from cameras on board U.S. bombers during Operation Desert Storm.〔(A Guerra do Golfo, os Estados Unidos e as Relações Internacionais ) accessed on 29 March 2011.〕〔(Guerra/Terrorismo – O maior bombardeio da história ), access on 27 November 2011.〕 The initial conflict to expel Iraqi troops from Kuwait began with an aerial and naval bombardment on 17 January 1991, continuing for five weeks. This was followed by a ground assault on 24 February. This was a decisive victory for the Coalition forces, who drove the Iraqi military from Kuwait and advanced into Iraqi territory. The Coalition ceased its advance and declared a cease-fire 100 hours after the ground campaign started. Aerial and ground combat was confined to Iraq, Kuwait, and areas on Saudi Arabia's border. Iraq launched Scud missiles against Coalition military targets in Saudi Arabia and against Israel. ==Etymology== The following names have been used to describe the conflict itself: *''Gulf War'', "Kuwait Invasion" and ''Persian Gulf War'' have been the most common terms for the conflict used within western countries. These names have been used by an overwhelming majority of popular historians and journalists in the United States. The major problem with these terms is that the usage is ambiguous, having now been applied to at least three conflicts: see Gulf War (disambiguation). With no consensus of naming, various publications have attempted to refine the name. Some variants include: * *''War in the Gulf'' * *''1990 Gulf War'' * *''Gulf War (1990–1991)'' * *''First Gulf War'': to distinguish it from the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the subsequent war. * *''Second Gulf War'': to distinguish it from the Iran–Iraq War. : *''Liberation of Kuwait'' (Arabic: تحرير الكويت ''taḥrīr al-kuwayt'') is the term used by Kuwait and most of the Coalition's Arab states including Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates. *In addition to "Gulf War" (French: ''la Guerre du Golfe''), the names ''War of Kuwait'' and ''Second Gulf War'' are commonly used in France〔:fr:Guerre du Koweït (1990-1991)〕 and Germany.〔:de:Golfkrieg, :de:Zweiter Golfkrieg〕 *''The mother of all battles'' (Arabic: أم المعارك ''umm al-ma‘ārik'') is the term used by Iraq. *Other names sometimes used include ''Iraq-Kuwait conflict'' and ''U.N.-Iraq conflict''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gulf War」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
