What country invaded Iraq in 1991?
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.
What country did Iraq invade in 1990 claiming it as its 19 province?
Kuwait, to Iraq's southwest, was conquered by Iraq in 1990. It was considered the 19th province of Iraq since during the Ottoman Period, Kuwait was part of the Mesopotamian region dominated by Iraq. However, the separation of Kuwait by the British early on made it independent to all but the Iraqis.
Did the US go to war with Iraq when forces invaded Kuwait?
Yes, but the intervention was delayed for six months to get the necessary UN approval.
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.
How did the United Nations UN react in the early 1990s to Iraq's violation or an international treaty?
Iraq was expected to honor the sovereignty of Kuwait and if Iraq did not, the United Nations would do what ever was necessary to protect Kuwait. The stances of both Iraq and the UN resulted in the Gulf War.

What were the consequences of the annexation of Kuwait by Iraq?

The borders of Iraq reverted to antebellum borders. That is to say that Iraq's borders returned to the way they were before any war began. Iraq had the same borders in 1992 as it did 1989. (The Persian Gulf War was from 1990, when Iraq invaded Kuwait, to 1991, when the UN Coalition evicted Iraq from Kuwait.)
