Abstract

This research consists of a chapter of the dissertation entitled “The 1st Gulf War from the perspective of Clausewitz: a theoretical reflection”, which aims to work on a case study on the 1st Gulf War based on Strategic History. This chapter covered the background to the War, as well as the phases of the campaign and the developments after the end of hostilities on the battlefield. This is a scientific investigation that oscillates between the fields of History and Military Sciences but, with the aim of working and examining the details of the 1st Gulf War, as it is the first major international conflict of the post-Cold War and a landmark significant for the changes that the Iraqi State faced until the invasion in 2003.
