1990-1991, if you are referring to the first of the recent wars in that area. (There's been a lot of warfare in that reegion over the centuries!)

Since the Iran–Iraq War of 1980–88 had been called the "Persian Gulf War" by many news sources, the 1990-19911 war has sometimes been called the "Second Persian Gulf War"; more commonly, the 1990-1991 war is styled simply the "Gulf War" or the "First Gulf War", in distinction from the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

The Persian Gulf War or Gulf War, also known as the mother of all battles in Iraq, (2 August 1990 – 28 February 1991) was a conflict between Iraq and a coalition force from 34 nations authorized by the United Nations (UN) but led primarily by the United States and the United Kingdom in order to return Kuwait to the control of the Emir of Kuwait.
