20th Century Battlefields (by BBC) - Gulf War (1991)

Documentary about the Gulf war presented by father and son historians Peter and Dan Snow, from BBC (they were actually in charge of a project named “20^th Century Batterfields” which shows a set of documentaries about the most important wars and military events from the last century, including some of the topics that we have studied in class, such as: World War II, the Korean War, Middle East and USSR internal affaires, etc.). We know that this video could be a little long (it lasts an hour) but uploaded it because it shows a very detailed description of the war. In here, you will see a set of interactive maps describing the military actions during the war and you will also experience some of the US military attacks live (remember that this was the first war in history that was filmed), where you will also realize how powerful and even dangerous the US Armed Forces can be. However, the video’s point of view could not be exactly the most neutral one because it shows an occidental perspective of the war, which can lead to some criticism.
