Operation Desert Storm During Operation Desert storm the largest air assault in history along with the largest tank battle in history occurred (Nardo 58). Many national leaders held meetings to try to prevent war from happening, but obviously, none of those attempts worked as Operation Desert Storm began on January 16, 1991. Many Americans view Operation Desert Storm as a total success with triumphant air campaigns and ground campaigns, reducing Iraq as a threat to other Persian Gulf Nations, and liberation of Kuwait; however, many goals went unachieved as a result from not invading Baghdad with ground forces and removing Saddam Hussein from power.
