Why was this war important

There are a few reasons why Operation desert shield/storm is important. One of the reasons why it was important for the United States to help out Kuwait is because with out the US, Kuwait would be under the control of Iraq. If we did not help Kuwait the price of oil could possibly be unaffordable. One of the reasons why I think that the United States defended Kuwait is because of our oil relationship. If Iraq had ended up taking over Kuwait that would make it harder for the United States to get oil. In these days oil runs our country so without oil the United States would be weak. Another reason why this war was important was because if we wouldn’t have defended Kuwait Iraq might have gotten bigger and bigger and might have taken over more and more countries while they got stronger and stronger. The main reason why I think this war was important is all about the oil because Kuwait is one of our main sources of oil.
