The Gulf War (1990-1991) included Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm, and was fought to liberate the country of Kuwait on the Persian Gulf.
Kuwait had been occupied by the forces of Iraq, then ruled by Saddam Hussein. Claiming that Kuwait was historically part of Iraq, Saddam ordered the invasion and occupation of the country in August, 1990. A coalition of forces led by the US expelled the Iraqis between January 17 and February 28, 1991.
It was not a specific country more like a region but the war was the Gulf War.

No, Kuwait did not pay the US for the first Gulf War. The US led a multinational coalition to liberate Kuwait from Iraqi occupation in 1990-1991. The operation was primarily financed by the participating coalition countries rather than Kuwait.
