From the supplier: The Gulf War redefined the relationship between oil, the most important commodity in the world market, and international politics. Operation Desert Storm was an attempt of the US to prove its dominant world power amid a declining economy. The US' involvement in the Gulf War showed how military power can be used in gaining wealth and protecting a nation's interest in foreign lands. It also showed the tremendous power of oil in controlling global political economy.
