Middle East · Animated schematic fronts
Gulf War
Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait and the coalition war to liberate Kuwait.
Schematic front line based on standard overview maps of the main phases. Movement between the dated moments is smoothly interpolated and is not a day-by-day reconstruction; the closing edges of the coloured areas are graphic and may include sea or uninvolved land. The ground offensive was preceded by a 38-day air war, which is not shown on the map.
