Once, when the Ottoman Empire still existed, Kuwait was a part of Iraq. Nowadays, it is an independent country, rich with oil. Iraq's leader- Saddam Hussein, wanted to regain the lost land of Kuwait and also gain control over Kuwait's oil wells. He then planned to continue, and Invade Saudi Arabia- which will put Hussein in the position as the biggest single oil supplier in the world- for he would control 40% of the oil supplies in the world.
Therefore, Hussein came up with the excuse, that Kuwait is slant-drilling and in fact are stilling Iraqi oil. Something that was never proven right. With theis Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990.
The war was over within 100 days, with Iraqi's withdrawal and loss.
