Persian Gulf War PowerPoint Overview

Students will learn about the causes, course, and effects of Operation Desert Storm from President George H.W. Bush's time in office with this 20 slide power point overview and 20 question note guide (short answer, fill in the blank, and matching). Some questions require students to make connections to events beyond the slides themselves. The note guide answers are included. The presentation is included as a PowerPoint and a PDF for your convenience.

Sample note guide questions include:
--Which of the following were Kuwait’s allies in potential conflicts?
--Compare and contrast the American and UN response to the invasion.
--Inferring from the material, what type of warfare did Iraq consider Kuwait’s oil related choices/actions?
--Explain the core difference between Operation Desert Storm and Operation Desert Shield. 
--How did teleconferences separate this war from those prior to it?
--Inferring from the historical context and prior knowledge, why did America have the leadership position among the coalition forces? Was this more of a change or more of a continuity in American foreign policy and why?
