Different armed conflicts in the Persian Gulf region have been called the Second Gulf War:[a]

  • Gulf War (1990–1991), a war between Iraq and a coalition of nations led by the United States
  • 2003 invasion of Iraq The initial invasion of Iraq by forces led by the United States and the United Kingdom followed by a seven-year occupation

Notes [edit]

  1. ^ The numbering of conflicts in Persian Gulf depends on whether the Iran–Iraq War (1980–1988) is referred to as the First Gulf War (English language sources prior to the start of the war in 1990 usually called it the Gulf War), which would make the 1990 war the Second [Persian] Gulf War. Different sources may call the conflicts by different names.
