Kuwait
The Gulf War (1990-1991) included Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm, and was fought to liberate the country of Kuwait on the Persian Gulf. Kuwait had been occupied by the forces of Iraq, then ruled by Saddam Hussein. Claiming that Kuwait was historically part of Iraq, Saddam ordered the invasion and occupation of the country in August, 1990. A coalition of forces led by the US expelled the Iraqis between January 17 and February 28, 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.
Liberate Kuwait
The primary antagonists of the Gulf War were Iraq under the leadership of Saddam Hussein and the coalition forces led by the United States. Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, prompting the coalition forces to launch a military campaign to liberate Kuwait and drive Iraqi forces out of the country.
Nobody invaded Kuwait in 1900. In 1899, the Emir of Kuwait sought British protection against the Ottomans and s Kuwait became a British protectorate. British soldiers moved into the country, but, since they were doing it with the Kuwaiti Emir's permission, it was not an invasion. If the question intended to ask about the invasion of Kuwait in 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait at that time and the international reaction was to create a UN force to liberate Kuwait from Iraqi Occupation.
