[] =Gulf War =

 The problem started in 1990 when Kuwait and major oil countries lowered their prices and increased production. They started getting more and more trades. Saddam Hussein started thinking about taking over Kuwait. During late July, 1990 Saddam built-up military forces along the border of Kuwait. On August 2, 1990 Saddam's miliary forces rolled ov Kuwait forces and reached the capital, Kuwait City. Then they set an airborne attack on Kuwait City.

Another time they come in handy is when you are in a hurry and can’t find where you’re going. It was a very useful invention. Technology has come far and is going to continue to go even farther.

The **World Wide Web** was another invention in the 90’s that has been a very useful invention. Invented by Tim Berners-Lee in the year 1990, this invention was a giant addition to the invention of the internet. It allows you search sites worldly and have a wider search range.

DVD’s also give more special features, makes movies easier to store and don’t take up as much space, and can be used in laptop computers which make them able to be used almost anywhere. The DVD has been a very popular invention and people have benefitted from this invention in many ways.

The **V-Chip** is an invention that was discovered in 1995 by Tim Collings. This invention allows kids to be able to know if they can watch a certain television program. With the bad influences T.V. has on children these days this invention is very helpful to many parents. When you watch T.V. up in the corner of the screen shows either “G” “PG” “M” or “PG-14”. When kids see these ratings they know whether to change the channel or not. This has had a positive affect on many parents, children, and families all over the world.

Fashion of the 1990s Haley Holmes

Early 1990 The acid washed [|denim] fad of the late 1980s ended in 1990. This fad started to reappear in 2004 and 2005. Varying shades of stonewashed denim became popular, and remained popular through 1998. Denim [|jackets] continued to be popular; slim fit __ [|jeans] __ continued to be worn until 1994, but became less popular. Relaxed fit jeans replaced slim fit jeans as the most popular denim pants. White and black t-shirts were popular with boys and men. [|Hairstyles] also moved away from the 80s. The high, hair spray-heavy styles __favored__ by girls in the 1980s were replaced by long, straight hair, often with bangs. The __ [|bowl cut] __ became popular with teenage and pre-teen boys in 1991. The [|mullet] survived in modified form as a male hairstyle through 1992. The dominant clothing fad at the beginning of the 1990s was fluorescent clothing. The five fluorescent colors were fluorescent blue, fluorescent green, fluorescent orange, fluorescent pink, and fluorescent yellow. Fluorescent clothing was especially popular with teenage and pre-teen girls, although some boys wore fluorescent t-shirts. Fluorescent clothing items included fluorescent t-shirts, fluorescent sweatshirts, fluorescent socks, fluorescent shoelaces, fluorescent hair __scrunchies__, and fluorescent fanny packs. In 1991, fluorescent colors were replaced by colors such as coral, hot pink, and [|turquoise]. The popularity of bright colors declined through 1995. [|Hoop earrings] were also a popular accessory for teenaged girls and women in the first years of the 1990s. A major fad in 1991 was [|parachute pants]. Parachute pants were relaxed fit, tapered leg pants with a drawstring waist. Parachute pants came in bright colors. Such as, neon pink and green and white__.__ A fad of 1992 was heat-sensitive shirts that changed color depending on the wearer's body temperature. Mid 1990 Not all fashion during the grunge era was dominated by the grunge and neo-hippie looks. Fashion styles drawn from [|rap music], and from sports, were also popular. [|Baseball] caps worn backwards were popular. Baseball jerseys and [|basketball] jerseys were popular attire among certain teenage and pre-teen boys. High top running shoes in black were popular, especially [|Nike Air Jordans]. [|Sagging] came into style. Black hooded sweatshirts also became popular in 1992. In 1993, red [|Guess?] Denim became popular among teenage girls. This look was often complimented with red or forest green shirts from The Body Shop. Mondetta t-shirts also became popular at this time, among both teen and pre-teen boys and girls. There was also a navel __ [|piercing] __ fad in 1993 that was popular among teenaged girls and young women. This led to the adoption of belly shirts that left the belly uncovered to expose the navel. Grunge and neo-hippie fashions began to decline in the fall of 1994. Plaid and flannel gradually lost their appeal amidst a backlash against grunge. Bell-bottom jeans were replaced with wide-leg jeans. White denim became fashionable among guys as well as girls. Tie dyed shirts and granny sunglasses became unfashionable. Wraparound sunglasses became popular, and remained popular through the rest of the decade. [|Bowling] shirts became popular after Green Day wore them in their Basket Case video, and remained more or less popular for the remainder of the 1990s. Golf shirts became part of the new post-grunge style in 1995. [|Skater] shoes became popular, coinciding with a rise in the popularity of [|skateboarding]. The bowl cut hairstyle went out of fashion. Most teenaged and pre-teen boys moved towards shorter hair, although a small portion maintained the long straight hair of the grunge style. Mod fashion made a return in the fall of 1995.Boot cut jeans and Levis 501 style jeans superceded wide leg jeans. Teenaged girls and women began wearing black boots with chunky high heels. T-shirts became more form fitting, especially for women, with the advent of the baby doll t-shirt. Teenaged girls began wearing coolers such as pink, baby-blue, and plum. The [|"Rachel" haircut], named after the cut worn by [|Jennifer Aniston] on the sitcom [|Friends] in her role as Rachel, became popular. Short skirts became popular once again. In 1996, colors such as orange and yellow became popular, amidst what was characterized a 1970s revival. Fads of 1996 included the happy face, and peace sign necklaces. Hip hugger flare-leg jeans became popular among teenaged and pre-teen girls in 1996. The [|Mod] and 1970s retro fashions of 1995-96 set the tone for much of teenaged girls fashion through the remainder of the Late 1990 [|Punk] and alternative styles were common by 1996. Short, spiky hair, [|black t-shirts], black work pants, wraparound sunglasses, and skater shoes were part of these styles. Many punk and alternative teenagers dyed their hair colors like blue, green, and fuscia. In 1997 a [|Goth] fad developed which featured long black hair, black shirts, black work pants, black work boots, and black trench coats. Both the punk and Goth styles survived into the 2000s, albeit in modified forms. The [|preppy] look made a comeback in 1997 among teenaged males. At first, the preppy look was closely associated with the [|Tommy Hilfiger] clothing line. Tommy Hilfiger t-shirts and jeans were staples of the preppy look in 1997. Short hair, often dyed blonde, was popular among the preppy crowd. In 1998, [|Khaki pants] became popular among teenaged boys, owing to the popularity of golfer [|Tiger Woods]. [|Aloha shirts], also called Hawaiian shirts, became a major fad in 1999. [|Corduroy] fabric became popular in 1997. Corduroy fabric was used to make corduroy pants and corduroy overalls, sometimes abbreviated to "cords". Popular colors included black, tan, and grey. Corduroy continued as a trend into the 2000s, though the popularity of the fabric was inconsistent. Spaghetti strap tank tops became a popular female clothing item in 1997, allowing teenaged girls to show more skin, including cleavage. The [|Skort], a half skirt, half short, also became popular in 1997. The Skort lost popularity in 1998 amid the rise of long wraparound skirts. Colors popular among teenaged girls in 1997 and 1998 included lemon yellow, lime green, olive green, violet, and grey. A color fad of 1998 was army camouflage on pants; baby t-shirts, and spaghetti strap tank tops. The low rise jean phenomenon began in 1998. In 1999, Capri pants, a tapered pant that ends mid calf, became popular with girls and women. Pink became the dominant women's clothing color in 1999. Two types of denim washes became popular at the end of the 1990s. The first was rinse wash, a [|denim] wash that was popular in the 1950s and 1970s. The second was sandblasted denim, which replaced stonewash denim as the most popular denim wash.

Women also had a variety of dresses to choose from. One particular design that caught the fancy of many women was the petticoat dresses that were soft and girly! These dresses had cowl necks and were very feminine in their overall look.

Men adopted the punk look with great enthusiasm in the 1990s. Teens loved to dye their hair and sport trendy T-shirts. Yet another fashion trend of the 1990s were the vibrant colors sported by teens. Hip hugging denims became a style statement. These were worn with tank tops and accessorized with bling jewelry. One popular design was the peace symbol, which was also seen on many T-shirt s.
