Kuwait Liberation Day is based on Kuwait’s independence. Kuwait was once a part of Iraq, separated from them. The Kuwait National Day is a campaign that the U.S. took the U.S. to separate Kuwait from Iraq and make Kuwait an independent state. The campaign led to fierce military fights between Iraq and the U.S., ultimately leading to the victory of the U.S.
They gathered around the airport on Kuwait’s national day because the warzone was near the Kuwait International Airport.
At the airport, much Iraqi military power was ordered to retreat. Unfortunately, the orders did not reach the military power near the airport, which led to the war between the U.S. and Iraq. The victory that led to the Liberation Day of Kuwait was achieved between the 24th and 28th of February in 1991.
Kuwait’s national day, also called Kuwait Liberation Day 2025, was celebrated on the 26th of February. Unfortunately, The Happy Liberation Day in Kuwait was changed to the 25th of February because of some changes in the political system.
Gulf War:
The National and Liberation Day of Kuwait campaign is a part of the Gulf War mainly because of the wars on the Gulf side of the world. The name the Gulf War was given to it because of the involvement of many Arabian countries like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, etc. The war was challenging to fight alone for the U.S. Therefore, many other countries were involved.
The struggle for national and liberation day of Kuwait started on the 24th of February. Still, surprisingly, the war was not in the state of Kuwait. Mainly, the war took in the area of Iraq itself, which led to the downfall of Iraq. Iraq, being a militarily strong country, had to fight back, but there were many strategies involved that led to the loss of Kuwait from them.

Strategies:
Kuwait National Day was achieved through many strategies, but only one proved the real deal. In this Strategy, there were 40 Assault Ships assembled, mainly in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. For the Liberation Day of Kuwait, the Iraqi military was fooled into thinking that there would be an attack on the city of Kuwait as many counters were attacking the state.
This is where the fall of Iraq in the city of Kuwait took place. The Iraqi military thought that the main attack was on the city of Kuwait and deployed all their forces at the site, but the troops from the U.S. were entering from the south border of Kuwait.
The Iraq forces gave threats to the U.S. forces at the border with the use of their Missiles, but the U.S. forces did not hold back and took the boundaries for themselves. They resulted in the retreat of Iraq forces from the place.
The forces retreating from Kuwait allowed US forces to take control of the location. Hence, the Liberation Day of Kuwait was celebrated on the 26th of February but shifted to the 25th of February, now called Kuwait National Day.
Campaigns Taken for Kuwait Liberation Day:
The US started an Air Campaign called Liberation Day of Kuwait in which the US could make war against Iran for the Independence of Kuwait and make it a part of their territory. This US-led campaign had air and land combat, which led to Iraq being defeated and Kuwait being taken from Iraq, once and for all being Liberated.
The central part of the campaign for Kuwait Liberation Day started on the 24th of February. It was reported that the bombardment and war were going on for more than months in Iraq and Kuwait. The Iraq military had mined fields and bomb wires at the border of Iraq, which led towards the city of Kuwait. US Marines had to pass through the wires which led to the central city of Kuwait.
The US military power outnumbered the Iraqi military because of its strategies. The Iraqi military troops were on Kuwait’s side, leaving a small army in the central city. The Iraq military power had to surrender to the US Marines because of the outnumbering factor.
When the US tanks ran through the border, there was a small Tank fight between Iraq and the US, which led to the victory of the US. Hence, the day of 24th February was victorious for the US troops, leading towards 25th February, called the Kuwait National Day.
The US had the idea that Iran’s Military power would surrender to the city of Kuwait which became true on the day of 25th of February also known as the National Liberation Day of Kuwait. Saddam Hussain himself ordered the Iraq troops to back up and retreat.
Many orders were fulfilled, but there was a misconception and mid-order at a place. This place was the International Airport of Kuwait. On the 27th of February, the Iraq Military power was on the side of the International Airport. Saddam Hussain ordered the retreat, but due to miscommunication, the military power on the side of the airport did not have the idea to retreat.
Due to the miscommunication, the US military power and Iraq’s Military power had to fight at the place, which led to Resistance and war between both oppositions. The Resistance led to a fierce massacre between them. In this war, the US had to fight for several hours, which led to the death of many soldiers. At last, the US was victorious in the battle for Kuwait Liberation Day. The last fight in the Kuwait Liberation campaign was finished in the City of Kuwait.
Finally, the Kuwait National Liberation Day was formed. Happy Liberation Day was created on the same date but was changed to the day of the 25th of February.

The soldiers left in the land of Kuwait were expelled from the ground. There were many vehicles destroyed, there were many coalitions exempted from Iraq, and there were many tanks destroyed on the land of Kuwait. Advanced tanks were available to the US, which fought against the old soviet tanks of Iraq, resulting in an easy land combat victory for the US.
