The first Gulf War in 1990/1991 was caused by Saddam Hussein invading Kuwait on 2 August 1990, and taking over that country. Many human rights violations were reported, and we adviced him that he needed to get out by 16 Jan 1991 or face a US led attack.

What were the causes and results of the First Gulf War in 1991?
Well, the "First Gulf War" was the only Gulf War. What is going on now in Iraq and Afghanistan has very little to do with the Persian Gulf as a strategic necessity. To answer the question, the causes were the British exclusion of Kuwait when the country of Iraq was formed after World War 1, and the power vacuum created by the ending of the Cold War. Sadaam Hussein saw an opportunity to annex Kuwait in 1990 and create an Arab alliance in the Mideast, but other Arab countries did not go for it. The threat to the Persian Gulf oil suppy led to the formation of the Gulf Coalition, and Iraq was ejected from Kuwait in 1991. The long-term results of the war were a continued Western military presence in the Persian Gulf region, and the removal of Iraq as a threat to Persian Gulf oil exportation.

Was there a casus belli for the second gulf war?
It is unclear what is meant by "the Second Gulf War". Does it refer to the Persian Gulf War of 1990-1991 (with the First Gulf War being the Iran-Iraq War of 1980-1988) or does it refer to the Iraq War of 2003-2011 (with the First Gulf War being the Persian Gulf War of 1990-1991)? To read about the causes of both of those wars, see the Related Links below. It is usually considered that the Persian Gulf War of 1990-1991 had an Iraqi casus belli or Kuwaiti slant-drilling and that the Iraq War had an American casus belli of weapons of mass destruction in violation of the treaty terms of the Persian Gulf War of 1990-1991. Both of these are not terribly salient arguments.
