There was no war in 1990. Operation Desert Shield occurred in 1990. Operation Desert Shield consisted of building up military forces in Southwest Asia (Saudi Arabia and surrounding areas) to be used in the event Iraq refused to remove itself from Kuwait. Iraq ignored the ultimatum to remove itself from Kuwait. On or about 15 Jan 1991; Operation Desert Storm commenced to physically remove Iraq from Kuwait. This was accomplished within 60 days, and Operation Desert Storm was completed.

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.
