Page "History of Kuwait" Paragraph 36

U. S. President George H. W.

Bush condemned the invasion, and led efforts to drive out the Iraqi forces.

Authorized by the United Nations Security Council, an American-led coalition of 34 nations fought the First Persian Gulf War to reinstate the Kuwaiti Emir.

Following several weeks of aerial bombardment, a U. S .- led United Nations ( UN ) coalition began a ground assault on 23 February 1991 that completely removed Iraqi forces from Kuwait in four days.

After liberation, the UN, under Security Council Resolution 687, demarcated the Iraq-Kuwait boundary on the basis of the 1932 and the 1963 agreements between the two states.

In November 1994, Iraq formally accepted the UN-demarcated border with Kuwait, which had been further spelled out in Security Council Resolutions 773 ( 1992 ) and 833 ( 1993 ).
