@mrrhistoric: In 1991, retreating Iraqi forces set over 600 Kuwaiti oil wells on fire, creating one of the worst man-made environmental disasters in history. Massive smoke clouds turned day into night, oil covered the desert, and the world watched scenes that looked apocalyptic. The Gulf War oil fires changed the world by exposing how war could devastate the environment on a massive scale, influencing military strategy, environmental awareness, and global views on the true cost of conflict. #History #fyp #fire #oil
