On the 2nd of August 1990 Iraq sent an invasion force consisting of 120,000 troops and 2000 tanks into the neighboring country of Kuwait (Military Analysis Network, "Operation Desert Shield").
The invasion force quickly overwhelmed the small country, thus allowing Iraq to declare, in less that a week, that Kuwait had become Iraq's nineteenth province.
The United Nations quickly responded, passing a series of resolutions condemning the invasion, called for an immediate withdrawal of troops from Kuwait, imposed financial and trade embargo's and declared the annexation void.
