Oil.
Iraq, in response to its invasion of Kuwait in 1990.
Technically, because Congress never approved of it, Iraq is labeled an Invasion.
Gulf War Oil Spill resulted from the 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and is regarded as the second largest oil spill in history.
In 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait. This invasion led to the Gulf War, as a coalition of countries, led by the United States, responded to liberate Kuwait from Iraqi occupation. The conflict highlighted regional tensions and issues related to oil resources in the Middle East.
Saddam Hussein justified the invasion of Kuwait by claiming that Kuwait was historically part of Iraq and that its oil production was harming Iraq's economy by driving down oil prices. He also accused Kuwait of illegally drilling into Iraqi oil fields and violating OPEC agreements. These arguments were used to portray the invasion as a necessary action to protect Iraq's sovereignty and economic interests.
Yes. There were other motivations such as Iraqi Nationalism, War Debt Grievances, and Persian Gulf Access, but Oil was an important consideration.
