Best Answer

In 1990 Saddam Hussein ordered Iraqi troops to invade the sovereign nation of Kuwait to plunder its wealth, oil was involved in an indirect way in that most of the Kuwaiti wealth was due to oil production. But the world stepped in when an aggressive Dictatorship invaded an established nation with the purpose of seizing its land and resources. Upon their eviction by the allied troops in 1991, the Iraqis set much of the oil fields ablaze causing an eco disaster of global proportions.
