What was an important result of the persian gulf war of 1990 (operation desert storm)?

Answer 1

Saddam Hussein was not removed from power in Iraq.

Saddam Hussein continued to be the leader of Iraq and an aggressive threat to the Middle East including his own country. The war caused Hussein to close ranks even further preventing the UN from doing weapons inspection. Eventually, his behavior and weapon holdings would provoke an attack by the US under George W Bush.
