Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
*The correct answer is Option 1 - 1 (The First Gulf War)*
The First Gulf War revealed the vast technological gap that had opened up between the US military capability and that of other states. The highly publicised use of so-called ‘smart bombs’ by the US-led some observers to call this a ‘computer war’.
