Operation Desert Storm | What if Saddam Hussein FELL in 1991? The Middle East Would Change FOREVER | History Undone

56 min•7 februari 2025
James Hanson is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry and former British Foreign Office diplomat Tim Dowse to discuss one of the most remarkable military operations of modern times: Desert Storm. The Gulf War was a war of firsts: high tech weaponry, 24-hour news broadcasting and lightning speed efficiency from the Americans. The ground offensive was over in a matter of 100 hours to liberate Kuwait and decimate Saddam Hussein's Iraqi Army. Yet what if the U.S. had gone even further and removed Saddam there and then? What impact does that have on seismic 21st century events like 9/11 and the war in Iraq? This is History Undone.
