Kuwait, to Iraq's southwest, was conquered by Iraq in 1990.
Kuwait was invaded in 1990 by Iraq who claimed they had been stealing oil by drilling diagonally under the ground and also probably because Iraq did not want to repay the large amount of money they had borrowed from the Kuwaitis during the Iran-Iraq war.
The US and a coalition of other nations then retaliated against Iraq in what is commonly referred to as the Gulf War.

∙ 11y agoNo country was invaded by Iraq in 1991. In 1990, Iraq had invaded Kuwait and this occupation continued into 1991. However, the UN Operation Desert Storm proceeded to liberate Kuwait and invade Iraq from Saudi and Kuwaiti territory in early 1991.
Kuwait (along with the U.S., Britain, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia) invaded Iraq in 1991.
