The reason as to why the United States went to war Iraq remains contentious. The official reason given however was to remove a regime that was developing and using the weapons of mass destruction.
The Initial Official Justification was that Iraq was creating Weapons of Mass Destruction
The primary reason given by the administration of George W. Bush was that Saddam Hussein, the leader of Iraq, was engaged in the production or acquisition of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). These are nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons (examples are the anthrax letter attacks in the US and the Sarin gas attacks in Tokyo--neither of which had any connection to Iraq). It was suggested that Hussein might provide these weapons to terrorists to attack the US. He had already used chemical weapons sold to him by the US against Iran, and also against Iraqi Kurds. Before the war UN inspectors announced they had found no evidence of WMDs, despite unfettered access. After the war was under way, additional investigation concluded Saddam did not have WMDs.

What are the main reasons that the Persian Gulf war took place using examples from Iraq-Iran conflicts and Iraq-Kuwait conflicts?
The 'Gulf War' of 1991 took place as the result of Iraqi aggression against the small oil-producing Arabic nation of Kuwait and reactive aggression by the United States (and other nations) against Iraq. While the United States had increasingly supported Iraq during the long and devastating Iran-Iraq war (also known as the 'Gulf War') in the 1980s, Iraq's increasing hostility toward Kuwait (due to perceived or actual conflicts of interest between the two Arabic nations), then its military takeover of the nation in 1990, led the United States to foment a response. This response erupted into full-scale war in January of 1991 and resulted not only in the liberation of Kuwait but in partial occupation of Iraq by 'Coalition' troops.
