    The Persian Gulf War was short, with few American casualties.

    Answer: Option A

    Explanation:

    Following the growing tensions between Iraq and Kuwait and the annexation of Kuwait by Iraq, the coalition force including troops from the defence services of 35 nations attacked Iraq in August 1990. The war operations lasted for only seven months.

    This war was considered to be a short war as the span of seven months is very small compared to the spans of the American Civil War and that of the first and the second world wars. The casualty on the side of Iraq was reported to be around 50,000 including civilians, whereas, that on the side of coalition force was a little less than 300.
