    At 2:38 in the morning on the night between January 16 and 17, 1991, just 18 hours and 38 minutes after the expiration of the ultimatum set by the United Nations, Operation "Desert Storm," the largest allied military action since 1945, began.

    In what would become the first conflict in history to be broadcast live on television, 90,000 tons of bombs would be dropped, marking a new point of no return for what was considered acceptable by global public opinion. The imagery that war helped create would lay the groundwork for the long series of Western military interventions in the Middle East in the years that followed.
