Why are Iraq invade Kuwait?
Iraq invaded Kuwait because the US ambassador to Iraq told him he could. What happened: In 1990 the Kuwaitis bought a machine called a slant drill. It's used by oil drillers to get into really weird oil deposits. If you found a pool of oil under a 5000-foot mountain, you would slant drill into the pool because drilling straight down through a 5000-foot mountain would take a very long time. Kuwait didn't want the drill to go around a mountain; they bought it to drill into the al-Rumaila Oil Field. This they did. The al-Rumaila Oil Field is completely inside Iraq. Oops. Saddam called a meeting with our ambassador to Iraq, April Glaspie, and told her that if she didn't have the US tell Kuwait to stop tapping Iraq's oil he was going to annex Kuwait into Iraq. (Iraq has 18 provinces. They consider Kuwait to be their 19th province.) Glaspie told Saddam, "the United States has no position on your current border dispute." Saddam read that as meaning the US didn't care whether he invaded Kuwait so he did that.
Was The Persian Gulf War a result of Iraq invading Kuwait for their rich oil supply?
That is essentially true, although the motives for Iraq's invasion of Kuwait were a bit more complicated than that. Iraq had borrowed billions of dollars from Kuwait, to help finance its war with Iran, and it did not want to repay that loan. There were disputes about oil wells on the border between Iraq and Kuwait. It is also true that in an earlier historical period, Kuwait used to be part of Iraq, so it could be argued that Iraq was asserting a historical ownership of that region. And aside from all that, Saddam Hussein announced that his purpose for invading Kuwait was to (as he put it) liberate Palestine. I interpret this to mean, he wished to build a large empire which would then have enough military power to take on Israel. So there were lots of motives. But basically yes, Iraq wanted Kuwait's rich oil supply. And the rest of the world objected to this violation of the UN charter. From our current perspective in 2013, it is hard to be sure if this was really such a good idea. Perhaps we should have just let Iraq have Kuwait.
