War between the Iraqis and Syrians

This war between the Iraqis and Syrians began from the late 1880s. This war began from the persian war also known as THE GULF WAR [The war between the Iraqis and the Kuwaitis].
HISTORY---                     At the request of the Kuwaitis, Kuwait had become a British Protectorate in 1889. British forces protected the area until 1923, when borders were drawn between Iraq and Kuwait in 1923. On June 19, 1961 British protection ended and Kuwait joined the Arab League. Iraq objected strongly and claimed that Kuwait was a part of its territory. Kuwait formed its own Constitution on January 1963. Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein wanted to regain that lost land from Kuwait for Iraq and so he invaded.
LEADING UP TO WAR---                                            On August 2, 1990 Iraqi forces invaded Kuwait. Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein had been making threats against Kuwait for sometime, but his actual invasion caught most of the world.
Word of the Iraqi attack reached Washington D.C as Iraqi forces assembled at the Saudi border.
Then Pentagon had plans to aid the Saudis.
A DEADLINE SET FOR SADDAM HUSSEIN---                                                                                 By the end of September 1990, there was nearly, 200,000 American personnel in Saudi Arabia enough to repel any Iraqi attack.
ATTACK---
                   On the morning of January 16,1991 Allied forces began the first phase of Operation Desert Storm, also known as Desert Shield. American forces first destroyed Iraqi border radar stations, the other key elements of the Iraqi anti-aircraft network, lastly they began to bomb key targets in downtown Iraq, including the presidential palace.
At last, 545,000 Iraqi troops were killed and 300,000 were wounded and Saddam Hussein died.
The war has been ended by the dead of Saddam Hussein but this war in Iraq led to the destruction of the country's main infrastructures , with the population left without water.
BORN OF ISIS---                             When Saddam Hussein died then it opened doors for the Sunni terror group Al Qaeda in Iraq, started in 2004 by Jordanian Islamist Abu Musab Al Zarqawi. After Zarqawi was killed in a US airstrike in 2006 , Egptian Abu Ayyub Al Masri took over and announced the creation of the Islamic State Of Iraq. Masri was killed in a 2010 US Iraqi operation. That opened the door to Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, a militant who joined previously.
Baghdadi took over the group and when a civil war kicked off in neighbouring Syria members of the group went there to fight against Syria's Government. After ISI gained strength in Syria , it reentered in Iraq in 2013.
In 2014 Al Qaeda renounced itself ISIS. ISIS fighters got better, in part because they were being led by former officers of Saddam's army.
  THIS WAS THE CONFLICT BETWEEN IRAQ AND SYRIA BECAUSE OF THE ISIS.
