Why did Saddam Hussein attack Kuwait in 1990?

Answer 1Saddam accused oil companies in Kuwait of slant drilling. The Iraqi oil fields do not extend beneath Kuwait, so American companies drilled at a shallow angle, from Kuwait to within Iraq, to tap into Iraq's oil field. If you had a gold deposit beneath your property, the gold belongs to you, the property owner. If your neighbor digs a tunnel down from their property, then laterally to a point under yours to reach and extract the your gold, that is theft.Saddam met with April Glaspie, a US Ambassador at the time, to discuss his dispute. Glaspie led Saddam to believe the US would not intervene if Saddam attacked Kuwait, but that was not true. See the link below.Answer 2After his war with Iran, Saddam considered himself as victorious for defeating Iran (as he thought). so his ego grew so large that he wanted to get back Kuwait as a part of Iraq!Of course, the Americans that encouraged him, and helped him to fight the Iranians, opposed him this time, so the operation desert storm happened, and the other Arab governments that supported him with money on Iran, also faced him this time, it was a bad decision for him, strategically, to go to war with both Kuwait and Iran, but he was stupid. we all know how his country and him ended up to be.Answer 3To acquire more territory and resources that he believed were justifiably a part of the Iraqi nation.Also, it is alleged that April Glass of the United States said to the Iraqis that America wouldn't mind.The official reason is that Iraq had decided to re-annex Kuwait, which was the 19th province of Iraq long ago and Iraq felt it had been taken away illegally.This is true, but the reason Iraq decided to re-annex Kuwait was the Iraqis caught the Kuwaiti government slant-drilling into Iraq's richest oil field, the al-Rumaila, and ordered them to stop. Kuwait wouldn't stop doing it, so Saddam dealt with the problem.
